We're all feeling the impacts of the brutal heat waves that are sweeping across the globe. When sweltering summer temperatures hit in your area, you probably avoid being outside during the day, seek out air conditioning or reach for an ice cold drink.
In Syria’s Al-Hol refugee camp, which is facing the temperatures shown above, there’s minimal shelter to protect children from the sun, no air conditioning and limited access to safe water. For the children in these camps and other crisis zones around the world, this heat is especially deadly.
In Syria, 6.5 million children require humanitarian assistance as a result of 11 years of conflict. Compounding challenges, including displacement and drought, have endangered their access to safe water, nutrition and shelter — and put them at risk of suffering from the dire impact of heat waves.
Give now to ensure that UNICEF can reach children in Syria and around the world with TWICE the safe water, protection services and critical relief >> |
In areas like refugee camps where resources are limited and space is overcrowded, children can be particularly vulnerable to dehydration, exhaustion and other complications. That’s why your DOUBLED
support is so vitally needed to help protect children from this heat.
Before temperatures get any hotter and more children face danger, make a gift that delivers 2X as much support to every child trapped by unbearable heat >>
Thank you,
