Sudan: Treatment for malnutrition

Little Genan arrived emaciated at a UNICEF-supported hospital in Blue Nile State, Sudan. She was provided with nutrient-dense Ready-to-use-Therapeutic Food (RUTF) and is now doing well! With your support this year, UNICEF and partners provided malnutrition screening for 4.8 million (and life-saving treatment for 260,000!) children in Sudan.

Syria: Restoring mobility and hope

“I used to have many bruises on my legs because I would fall every time I tried to walk,” says Reem, a 15-year-old girl from Rural Damascus with a locomotor disability. Thanks to your support and UNICEF’s cash assistance, Reem resumed physiotherapy and can now walk to school with minimal help. Between January 2023 and July 2024, this programme supported 20,900 children with disabilities in Syria, giving families the resources to help rebuild their lives.
