Kids need UNICEF now more than ever:
- War, conflict, persecution and poverty have uprooted nearly 69 million people
- Children face a vast number of protracted, increasingly complex humanitarian crises. Conflicts can disrupt immunization campaigns that protect children from disease. Last year, 20 million children worldwide – more than 1 in 10 – missed out on lifesaving vaccines that keep them and the world safe
- Typhoons, cyclones and floods and a series of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions have heightened the risks extreme weather pose to children
- More countries are embroiled in violent unrest than at any other time in the past 30 years, with around 420 million children — one in five — living in an area affected by conflict
- Four years of conflict in Yemen have had a devastating impact on the nation's 12.3 million children. Every 10 minutes a child dies of preventable diseases, and 360,000 children under 5 suffer from severe acute malnutrition
- Nearly 500,000 Rohingya refugee children who fled genocide in Myanmar for Bangladesh require humanitarian relief
