Help families facing a hunger crisis
As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to severely impact families in the world’s poorest places, rising levels of hunger could be more deadly than the virus itself.
A global hunger emergency is growing - driven by the economic fall-out of coronavirus, climate change and conflict. Families in vulnerable communities who were already struggling to survive before the pandemic are now facing a crisis on top of a crisis.
Hundreds of thousands of children under five years old, like young Halima*, aren’t getting enough nutrients to stay healthy. But support from people like you is helping us to reach them with essential, nutritious food and treatment.
Will you support our work to tackle hunger and help children stay healthy?
Sameera and her daughter Halima live along with nearly a million other Rohingya people from Myanmar in refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. Families there are almost entirely reliant on international assistance to survive. And, as nutritious food is hard to come by in the camps, they are also reliant on our support to prevent and recover from malnutrition, which is all too common among children and mothers.
We are working in 23 of the world’s poorest countries, including Bangladesh, where your support could provide life-saving food, help children stay healthy and tackle hunger.
