In a humanitarian emergency, time is short. Whether the emergency is famine, drought war or natural disaster, UNICEF personnel are on the scene working to relieve the suffering of children and families.
Working closely with other international relief agencies and grassroots organizations, UNICEF emergency interventions focus on providing health care, nutrition, safe water and sanitation, basic education, and the psycho-social rehabilitation of traumatized children.
When children are at risk anywhere in the world, UNICEF responds in less than 24 hours.
UNICEF’s presence in over 150 countries means that it is often working in a region before during and after an emergency strikes.
