Across the globe, millions of children affected by conflict and the effects of climate change, displacement, rising poverty and disease outbreaks are being denied their fundamental rights.
More than 460 million children are living in, or fleeing from, devastating violence in places including the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Haiti, Myanmar, State of Palestine, Sudan, and Ukraine. Meanwhile, nearly half the world’s children live in countries that are at extremely high risk from the impacts of climate change.
But despite the scale of the challenges, the situation isn’t hopeless. Working with partners through principled humanitarian action, with our response supported by vital flexible funding, UNICEF can reach the most vulnerable children. We can provide them with life-saving services and supplies to ensure equitable access to health care, education, clean water and sanitation. And we can ensure that their rights are upheld.
In 2025, UNICEF is appealing for $9.9 billion in support of our humanitarian action for children. These funds will help us to reach 109 million children living through humanitarian crises with both immediate life-saving services, and investments for their longer-term development.
