Dear Friend,
As of 1 October 2018, humanitarian access remains restricted in Idlib, Syria, denying children the assistance they desperately need. However, working through partners on the ground, UNICEF is ensuring that basic services, such as education and supplies, are provided to children in Idlib’s camps, where many internally displaced children are located.
Overall in Syria, more than four million children started formal education in September this year, but almost two million children remain out of school. Through your support of UNICEF’s Self-Learning Program, you are helping out-of-school children gain access to curricula and resources that allow them to continue learning.
As a supporter of the UNICEF Emergency Response project, this is one program you are investing in.
Thank you!

Dear Friend,
The latest reports indicate that more than 800 people have died after a strong earthquake and tsunami hit the Indonesian island of Sulawesi Friday morning, and an estimated 17,000 have been displaced. The number of fatalities is expected to rise in the coming days as rescuers continue their search efforts.
UNICEF is mobilizing an immediate response to this disaster and is raising support to help the affected areas build back better. With programs in Indonesia dating back to 1948, UNICEF is uniquely poised to step up where help is needed most and work with local partners to deliver urgently needed supplies like safe drinking water, hygiene kits, and medicine. Trained staff are reuniting separated children with their families, offering psychosocial support, and providing educational materials to get children back to learning and playing as soon as possible.
Please consider making an immediate donation to the Emergency Response project to support UNICEF's on-going emergency relief efforts.
Thank you,
Emma

Syria: Internally displaced children in Idlib

Dear Friend,
Since the beginning of September 2018, thousands of people have been displaced, following a recent escalation of hostilities in north-west Syria. UNICEF estimates that many children are at risk, with recent violence jeopardizing their wellbeing. Many children in Idlib have been displaced over six times from one camp to another, fleeing the violence. While only limited humanitarian access is possible in Idlib through UNICEF’s partners in Idlib, western Aleppo and northern Hama; UNICEF and partners are delivering lifesaving assistance and preparing for expected displacement of civilians. This includes supplies for water, sanitation and hygiene, health, nutrition, child protection, and education.
Your support of these ongoing efforts is greatly appreciated.
