#GivingTuesdayNow – a new global day of giving and unity – is on Tuesday, May 5. We'd greatly appreciate it if you could share our messaging with your communities to help support our ongoing COVID-19 response. Thank you!
Severe wasting, a deadly form of malnutrition, is on the rise in children worldwide. The crisis is fueled by climate-driven drought, conflict and rising food prices. In the 15 countries hardest hit, a child is being pushed into severe malnutrition every single minute. Regions across the Horn of Africa are on the brink of famine — and without immediate action, this crisis will become a catastrophe.
UNICEF is delivering lifesaving nutrition and safe water — but our work is severely underfunded. We need your help in informing others of this escalating humanitarian emergency and reaching more children in need. Please share the social media posts below and consider donating at this link.
Children across the Horn of Africa need help now. Take action at the link in my bio.

1 in 5.
Despite being both preventable and treatable, severe wasting is attributed to 1 in 5 deaths among children under 5 years of age worldwide.
Global leaders, organizations and individuals must take collective and immediate action to deliver lifesaving nutrition to children in need. #ForEveryChild

Months of monsoon rains have led to catastrophic flooding across Pakistan — the worst the country has seen in 40 years. 33 million people — including an estimated 16 million children — have been affected and more than 1,700 deaths have been reported. Children and families who have survived the flooding now face additional threats, including waterborne diseases like cholera and other illnesses and an increased risk of severe malnutrition.
UNICEF and partners are providing support. To date, UNICEF's teams have established more than 200 temporary learning centers across Pakistan to protect children's education and routines. Teams have also delivered lifesaving resources, medical supplies, hygiene kits and more.
There's more work to be done — much more. Please #SupportPakistan by sharing the social media posts below and donating at this link.

According to UNICEF's latest situation report, nearly every child in Ukraine — all 7 million of them — are without sustained electricity and water. UNICEF is committed to supporting Ukrainian families are they prepare for the colder months ahead by delivering winterization kits with hats, coats, boots and blankets, as well as generators. Cash assistance and extended childcare programs provide additional relief, as well as ongoing psychosocial support.
Please continue to show your support for the Ukrainian families by sharing the social media posts below, continuing to acknowledge this ongoing crisis, and, if you can, donating. Thank you for your continued support. #ForEveryChild, peace.
