Right now, children are facing a desperate situation in the conflict-ravaged region of Tigray, Ethiopia.

The crisis in Tigray is now seven months in with no end in sight. Since the start of the conflict over 1.6 million people – including over 720,000 children – have been internally displaced. 

At least 33,000 children are severely malnourished and face imminent death without immediate access to food and medicine.

Famine-like conditions, violence and a lack of shelter bring utter despair to families in Tigray. 

We urgently need your support to send life-saving food, water and medicine to children in need.

Please donate now!

Send Urgent Humanitarian Aid to Children in Tigray 

Tigray’s children are in desperate need.

Without your support today, many more could die needlessly. 

It’s imperative that life-saving supplies, like Ready-to-Use-Therapeutic-Food (RUTF), clean drinking water and medicine are delivered. 

UNICEF is on the ground in Ethiopia and working to provide humanitarian aid to communities in need – even in the most hard-to-reach locations. 

How your Donation Helps 

Please help children struggling to survive by donating now to UNICEF Ireland.

  • €50 could provide 5 children caught up in crisis situations with life-saving emergency food.
  • €100 could provide 2 water and hygiene kits containing soap, gloves, masks, buckets and water purification tablets.
  • €150 could supply a health centre with enough medicine to treat 24 children.
