Right now, children across East Africa are facing a desperate crisis caused by prolonged drought, soaring food prices and ongoing conflict in Somalia.
The worst affected countries are Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia. 6.7 million children are in need of urgent help, more than 320,000 of whom have severe acute malnutrition and need immediate life-saving assistance.
In situations like this women and children are the most vulnerable. We have already treated thousands of malnourished children, vaccinated over a million children against measles, and ensured that more than two million people have access to clean water. But we can’t stop there.
Just £5 will help UNICEF feed a child for a week. With the right treatment, a child can recover in six weeks.
