Children—the most vulnerable population in any disaster—as is too often the case, are most likely to suffer the consequences.

In all emergencies, UNICEF focuses first on the survival of the children—which means providing health care, water and sanitation, and adequate nutrition.

UNICEF is also there to bring immediate protection to children who have been abandoned or separated from their families. And UNICEF works to get children back to school as soon as possible, to help them recover from the psychological distress associated with emergencies.

Millions of children suffer each year, victims of natural disasters and conflict emergencies. Humanitarian aid is crucial to support children.  But with the number of people affected by disaster growing every year, more emergency relief funding is needed to help vulnerable communities prepare for disasters before they occur and to protect children when disasters do occur.
