Children in Emergencies

by Australian Committee For UNICEF Limited

UNICEF responds to hundreds of emergencies every year.

By donating to our Children's Emergency Appeal you can help children and families whose lives have been devastated by war, conflict and natural disasters such as in Gaza, Nepal, Libya, Syria and Turkiye.

When war breaks out or disaster strikes, the chaos and insecurity that follows leaves children and their families at high risk. They may lose their home, school and often loved ones. Their access to food, water and health care is affected, and many children are left vulnerable to abuse and exploitation.

We can’t stop emergencies from happening, but we can ensure that more children survive and are supported. That means being on the ground, delivering life-saving support before, during and after emergencies happen.

"Today, there are more children in need of humanitarian assistance than at any other time in recent history." - Catherine Russell, UNICEF Executive Director

UNICEF is 100 per cent donor funded. Thanks to the contributions of our generous supporters, we're able to have a presence in over 190 countries around the world.
We must continue to be there for all children who need us, and we need your help to reach every child.

By donating to our Children's Emergency Appeal, you can help support UNICEF's ongoing work for children facing crises around the world.
