Children like Ibrahim are fighting to survive
Ibrahim is just 8 months old, but he is acutely malnourished and each day is a fight to stay alive. His health is failing when he should be playing, learning and growing. Malnutrition has stripped him of all his energy, leaving his body weak, frail and vulnerable to disease and sickness. Thanks to the support of donors like you, Ibrahim is receiving treatment, but millions more children need urgent help.
UNICEF is working on the ground to provide life-saving support but millions of children, like Ibrahim, are at risk of dying from starvation. No child deserves to suffer like this.
Your help can mean the difference between life and death
UNICEF is working against the clock to treat severely malnourished children across the region. But so many more children, like Ibrahim, are fighting for their lives.
Ready-to-use therapeutic food is a small sachet (92g) that costs less than $1 and can literally mean the difference between life and death for a child and save their life in a matter of weeks. These sachets are packed with high-energy nutrients that children need to start to recover from malnutrition, and they can be eaten immediately so there is no risk of unsafe water or preparation.
Help send life-saving therapeutic food to children on the brink of starvation. Donate now to save children from dying of hunger.
