Children like Maria have suffered or are expected to experience severe acute malnutrition that puts them at risk of losing their lives.

Maria and hundreds of thousands of malnourished children have been nursed back to health thanks to donors like you and the help of UNICEF-supported health partners and nutrition treatments. UNICEF is helping prevent and treat children suffering from malnutrition, responding to the pandemic, delivering vaccines and doing what it takes to protect access to critical
