Hurricane Beryl has wreaked havoc across countries in the Caribbean. Children are returning to homes with no roof or significant damage, like these families in Grenada. UNICEF and partners are supporting with life-saving supplies in several countries in the Caribbean Basin, including medical and educational kits, water, sanitation and hygiene supplies and high-quality tents. Countries in the Caribbean are particularly vulnerable to climate shocks due to their small size and extreme exposure to natural hazards, and the effects of climate change. #ClimateAction is critical now for children.

Children and families are fleeing brutal violence in El Fasher, Sudan. Many of them have been displaced multiple times in their search for safety and face severe shortages of food, shelter and clean drinking water. UNICEF and partners are scaling up essential services and supplies in conflict hotspots and to displaced communities. A ceasefire is urgently needed NOW.
