Globally, disasters have exacted a devastating toll on children and their families in 2022. The number of people in need of humanitarian aid has reached 324 million — across 63 countries — as of October 2022, according to the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Disasters — natural and manmade ­— can upend everything children and families need to survive ­and thrive in life. Protecting the world’s most vulnerable people has been at the core of our work for more than 70 years. Not only do we support people in their greatest hour of need, but we stay long term and help them recover and rebuild.<\/p>\n

In 2022, we responded to 58 disasters in 57 countries, helping more than 31.1 million people with the relief aid they needed to survive. In the U.S., our emergency efforts supported over 80,000 people. In addition to these responses, we’re still reaching people with our ongoing global response to the <\/span>COVID-19 pandemic<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
