Emergency Aid: Day and Refugee Influx

emergency aid: Most of the refugees are women and children, the reason UNICEF is calling the refugee influx a children's crisis, according to The Chronicle Herald. More than one million children have been forced from their homes in South Sudan, often amid horrific violence, said Leila Pakkala, a UNICEF official in the region. In a statement on World Refugee Day, the U.N. children's fund said the money is needed for emergency aid as well as resilience interventions targeting both refugees and host communities over the next four years. Day after day, week after week, they are being received by countries such as Uganda, Ethiopia and Kenya. UNICEF in Uganda requires nearly 50 million in 2017 as well as 30 million each year from 2018 to 2020 to provide critical services, including education and child protection, to both refugees and host communities, the UNICEF statement said. Despite great efforts on many fronts, the systems in these countries are tremendously stretched. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
