Humanitarian Action for Children


UNICEF’s Humanitarian Action for Children appeal helps support the agency’s work as it provides conflict- and disaster-affected children with access to water, sanitation, nutrition, education, health and protection services. 

Bangladesh snapshot:


Appeal highlights:

  • Five years into the Rohingya crisis, Bangladesh hosts 943,529 Rohingya refugees in Cox’s Bazar District, including 490,635 children. The refugees rely heavily on international aid and humanitarian assistance. As of August 2022, 26,043 Rohingya refugees had been relocated to Bhasan Char Island.
  • More than 8 million people in Rangpur, Mymensingh, Sylhet, Barishal, Khluna and Chattogram Divisions (43 per cent of them children) are affected by devastating floods and cyclones every year. It is predicted that by 2050, one in seven people will be displaced due to climate change.
  • UNICEF will continue to invest in government-led preparedness and humanitarian response in line with the Rohingya Refugee Crisis Joint Response Plan 2022 and the Humanitarian Coordination Task Team Nexus Strategy for climate-related disasters 2021-2025, focusing on floods, landslides and cyclones.
  • UNICEF is appealing for US$173.8 million to provide child-focused and gender-sensitive humanitarian assistance in the areas of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), health, nutrition, child protection and education for refugees, host communities and the most vulnerable people in flood- and cyclone-affected districts.

  • UNICEF works for the rights of every child, every day, across the globe.SUPPORT US!
