UNICEF appealed today for $3.6 billion to provide lifesaving humanitarian assistance to 48 million children living through conflict, natural disasters and other emergencies in 51 countries around the world in 2018.
Around the world, violent conflict is driving humanitarian needs to critical levels, with children especially vulnerable. Conflicts that have endured for years – such as those in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Iraq, Nigeria, South Sudan, Syria and Yemen, among other countries – continue to deepen in complexity, bringing new waves of violence, displacement and disruption to children’s lives.
Almost one in four of the world’s children now lives in a country affected by conflict or disaster. For too many of these children, daily life is a nightmare. Children have been forced from their homes, attacked in schools and hospitals, or faced drought, famine, disease, violence and abuse. Millions lack access to safe water or are missing out on their right to an education.
The spread of water-borne diseases is one of the greatest threats to children’s lives in crises around the world. Attacks on water and sanitation infrastructure, siege tactics which deny children access to safe water, forced displacement into areas with no water and sanitation infrastructure – all leave children and families at risk of relying on contaminated water and unsafe sanitation. Girls and women face additional threats, as they often fulfil the role of collecting water for their families in dangerous situations.
UNICEF’s Humanitarian Action for Children sets out the agency’s 2018 appeal totaling $3.6 billion, and its goals in providing children with access to safe water, nutrition, education, health and protection in 51 countries across the globe. Almost 84 per cent ($3.015 billion) of the 2018 funding appeal is for work in countries affected by man-made humanitarian crises borne of violence and conflict.
When disasters strike, UNICEF works with partners to quickly provide access to safe drinking water and to prevent the spread of disease through establishing latrines and distributing hygiene kits. This includes trucking thousands of litres of water to displacement camps daily, supporting hospitals and cholera treatment centres, providing safe water, sanitation and hygiene, and repairing large water and sanitation systems. These measures save lives, have long-term impact and pave the way for other important services like health clinics, vaccination services, nutrition support and emergency education.
UNICEF is the humanitarian leading agency on water, sanitation and hygiene in emergencies, providing over half of the emergency water, sanitation and hygiene services in humanitarian crises around the world.
The largest component of the appeal is for children and families caught up in the Syria conflict, soon to enter its eighth year. UNICEF is seeking almost $1.3 billion to support 6.9 million Syrian children inside Syria and those living as refugees in neighbouring countries.
