Syria Crisis

Escalating violence in Syria has put the lives of 4 million people at risk. Help now.

UNICEF is working with its partners to deliver urgently needed assistance to hundreds of thousands of children and families who have fled their homes to escape the fighting and bearing the brunt of the conflict. Visit our Syria Appeal pages here or donate for this appeal now.

Crisis in The Sahel

A food crisis is affecting over 15 million people in eight countries across the Sahel. UNICEF is extremely concerned for one million children under five with severe malnutrition who need lifesaving treatment to survive.

The situation in the Sahel

The crisis worsens an already fragile situation. Countries in West Africa have some of the highest mortality rates in the world:

one in five children dies before the age of five.
severely malnourished children are nine times more likely to die from preventable diseases.

Humanitarian needs cut across the Sahel belt, and include Chad, Burkina Faso, Mauritania, Mali, Niger, northern Nigeria, northern Cameroon and parts of the north in Senegal. Visit our Sahal Appeal pages here or donate for this appeal now.
