Back in August, eight children under the age of 5 died in Al-Hol, the largest refugee camp in northeast Syria, in less than one week. They didn’t die from COVID-19, Friend, they died from entirely preventable complications like malnutrition and dehydration.
For the children of Al-Hol and those languishing in conflict zones around the world, the systemic side effects of the pandemic have been just as devastating (if not more so) than the virus itself. Access to health care and humanitarian aid is dwindling by the day at a time when crucial resources like nutrition, safe water and medical supplies are already scarce.
Suffice it to say, a gift from you today is more important than it’s ever been. Your support enables our teams to rush emergency aid to vulnerable children around the world, and today only that support goes three times as far thanks to our Giving Tuesday TRIPLE match!

The situation in Al-Hol is grim, but unfortunately it’s not unique. 31 million children worldwide have been uprooted from their homes, many due to conflict and violence.
UNICEF is working in over 190 countries around the world to provide much-needed aid to these vulnerable children, but between COVID-19 and the many compounding crises that existed long before it, essential resources like nutrition, safe water and medical supplies are becoming more and more limited.
Help our teams continue vital relief efforts while keeping children safe from the novel coronavirus by committing to a gift of $50 or more. It’s 100% tax-deductible and, for TODAY ONLY, goes three times as far thanks to our Giving Tuesday TRIPLE match!
These kids need you, Friend,
The team at UNICEF USA |
