US Fund for UNICEF's Response to Horn Of Africa Drought Crisis

UNICEF is continuing its widespread emergency efforts in Somalia and across the Horn of Africa to prevent child deaths from malnutrition and disease. UNICEF’s relief work includes providing therapeutic foods to treat severe malnutrition, access to clean water, and vaccinations to prevent deadly diseases like measles and polio. In Somalia, the epicenter of the crisis, UNICEF is the largest provider of therapeutic and supplementary nutrition for malnourished children and has airlifted hundreds of tons of emergency nutrition supplies, medicine, and water-related equipment into the country as part of its lifesaving interventions to assist famine and drought-affected children.
