Around the globe, children's lives, wellbeing and rights are under threat. 1 in 5 children globally, live in conflict affected areas, while 48.8 million children have been displaced by conflict and violence. More than 53 million children out of school because of conflict and rising humanitarian needs continue to leave children vulnerable to malnutrition, disease and protection risks.
Before, during and after humanitarian emergencies, UNICEF delivers lifesaving support to children and families. Working with governments, UN agencies and local partners, UNICEF provides water, healthcare, nutrition, education and protection services. Alongside lifesaving assistance, UNICEF and its partners help build resilient communities by strengthening existing local systems and services children depend on for their future.
