UNICEF’s rapid response to the earthquake in Afghanistan
The 6.0 magnitude earthquake that hit Afghanistan on Aug. 31 affected 263,000 children, killing or injuring thousands and causing widespread damage to homes. UNICEF teams jumped into action, delivering prepositioned emergency supplies and lifesaving services within the first 72 hours. In the first week, UNICEF-supported health facilities treated more than 2,850 trauma cases and conducted 304 major surgeries. Over the next six months, UNICEF’s earthquake response aims to reach 400,000 people, including over 212,000 children.

| Ongoing conflict in Sudan poses grave risks for children and families
In North Darfur, Amani had been looking forward to her baby’s birth, until fighting in her neighborhood escalated and she was forced to flee. Amani was unable to access maternal and newborn health services during pregnancy and delivery due to the ongoing conflict; thousands of women across Sudan face similar challenges, as 70 percent of Sudan’s health facilities are nonfunctional. To respond to the crisis, UNICEF has set up mobile clinics to treat vulnerable and displaced communities.

Critically injured children in Gaza need to be medically evacuated
Over almost two years of war, at least 19,000 children have reportedly been killed and 42,000 injured in the Gaza Strip. With the majority of Gaza’s hospitals decimated, thousands of critically injured children are left waiting to be evacuated, with many dying before they can receive care. UNICEF is calling for medical evacuations at speed and at scale, with the guarantee that all evacuated patients can return to Gaza.

After civil war, school is back in session for children in Syria
Syria’s protracted civil war has caused countless civilian deaths and the displacement of millions of people, including 13-year-old Mohamed and his family. After losing part of his arm and several fingers in an explosion, Mohamed's hope for the future was dim. That all changed a year ago, when Mohamed was able to enter an innovative self-learning program delivered by UNICEF with funding from Education Cannot Wait (ECW). Through the program, Mohammed is back to the safety and hope of an education.

Recent cuts to foreign assistance globally mean that many of the most important programs protecting children will be severely curtailed or cease to exist. That is why we are asking Congress to provide a voluntary contribution of $150 million to UNICEF’s core resources for Fiscal Year 2026. Your voice matters now more than ever.
Contact your Members of Congress today and urge them to support the investment in UNICEF’s efficient and effective work. >> |
Thank you for being there for children,
UNICEF USA |
