Malnutrition/Food crises

UNICEF and partners are responding to food crises, including rising rates of child wasting in the Sahel as well as the malnutrition crisis in the Horn of Africa — the result of widespread, extreme food insecurity brought on by severe drought (exacerbated by climate change) and compounded by rising food prices.

Children in Gaza and Lebanon Crisis

The humanitarian situation for children in Gaza, Lebanon and Israel is dire, with over 1 million children affected. UNICEF is calling for a ceasefire, the release of all hostages and safe, sustained access to urgently needed supplies and assistance.

UNICEF and partners are working to deliver lifesaving aid to hundreds of thousands of children who remain trapped in a war zone with little or no access to food, water, electricity, medicine or medical care after deadly attacks in Israel gave way to devastating retaliatory air strikes in Gaza. UNICEF is also working to provide emergency aid to children and families caught in intensifying violence between Israel and Hezbollah.
