Your donation ensures that children continue to get access to life-saving health care and vaccinations to fight against preventable diseases. UNICEF supports children at over 4,400 outpatient health facilities and multiple vaccine initiatives.

Help children in Yemen with therapeutic food
Ready-to-use therapeutic food is a small sachet (92g) that costs less than $1 and can mean the difference between life and death. 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. With therapeutic food, UNICEF can help to save lives, every day.

Children like Ghosson need urgent help
Ghosson is one of 2.3 million children in Yemen fighting malnutrition. She was suffering intensely and in pain when she was admitted to the UNICEF-supported Al Sadaqa Hospital in Aden, Yemen. Her family have been living in a displacement camp for a year and did not have the means to provide food and water for the family, relying on help from their neighbors to buy drinking water.
Ghosson is one of the lucky children who was diagnosed in time and treated immediately. Although life is still not easy, she and her family have hope for a better future. But there are millions of children and families like Ghosson’s that still need support.
