Have you seen the devastating news out of Libya? Whole neighborhoods have reportedly been just washed away after Storm Daniel struck the coast of Libya.

Here’s where things stand: Thanks to gifts from supporters, like you, our offices on the ground are stocked with Mama Kits and Dignity Kits that will be distributed to survivors.

UNFPA’s Mama Kits ensure that new mothers have everything they need for themselves and their newborns. They include: Clothing for the mother and her baby, diapers, baby blanket, baby soap, and more. Dignity Kits ensure that women and girls can maintain their personal healthcare needs after a crisis. They include: Menstrual pads, bath soap, multiple pairs of underwear, a flashlight, toothpaste, a toothbrush, and more.

But we don't have Emergency Reproductive Health Kits on hand, which is why we’re urgently appealing for donations to get these critical kits on the ground and in the hands of the women and girls who need them most.

Will you rush an emergency gift now to help in Libya and humanitarian crises around the world? Pregnant women and newborns are at heightened risk in the aftermath of Libya’s floods. In fact, the United Nations just named women and children as especially vulnerable groups in the disaster.

Every second counts during a crisis like this. Thank you for supporting women and girls today.
