Freezing, damp conditions pose a threat to children in humanitarian crises.

UNICEF and partners provide critical support.

 

Cold-weather gear and other critical supplies and assistance are needed now

 

A deadly combination of displacement, soaring malnutrition rates, conflict and disaster has left more children in need of humanitarian assistance than at any time since World War II.

With winter approaching, along with freezing temperatures and damp conditions, children in many parts of the world risk being left exposed and especially vulnerable. 

 

The risk of hypothermia and serious respiratory infections threaten children whose immune systems are often already weakened from undernutrition.

 

UNICEF works with partners to reach children and families in need with lifesaving winter assistance, providing supplies like blankets and jackets, and in some cases cash payments  to help cover the cost of fuel and other essentials.

 

Help UNICEF reach more children in need. Please donate.
