Humanitarian action is at the core of UNICEF’s work, encompassing effective preparedness, early response and recovery to save lives and protect child rights. This report shows some of our joint efforts and the results achieved in 2015 for children in need of humanitarian assistance, and what we will be working towards in 2016.

Information about UNICEF’s work in these contexts is highlighted in the country and regional pages of the Humanitarian Action for Children at www.unicef.org/appeals. Appeals and results are updated regularly, based on the country context.
