The year 2014 was one of horror, fear and despair for millions of children, as worsening conflicts across the world saw them exposed to extreme violence and its consequences, forcibly recruited and deliberately targeted by warring groups. Yet many crises no longer capture the world’s attention.
As many as 15 million children are caught up in violent conflicts in the Central African Republic, Iraq, South Sudan, the State of Palestine, Syria and Ukraine – including those internally displaced or living as refugees. Globally, an estimated 230 million children currently live in countries and areas affected by armed conflicts.
But amidst this chaos, there was hope: supporters like you. You helped UNICEF be there for children, whether it was delivering urgent aid or ensuring that ongoing development efforts continued. And you can help us make 2015 a better year for children everywhere.
Thank you.
