UNICEF is one of the few agencies helping children in war ravaged Somalia. Yet last year only around one fifth of all the money required to keep the programs up and running was raised leading to fears that some of its necessary operations in Somali may have to close making the crisis even worse for children there.

With heavy fighting continuing on a daily basis, with many children killed in recent weeks UNICEF has stated “The world must see that Somalia’s crisis is a children’s crisis. Grave violations of children’s rights are taking place on a daily basis." For the latest events in Somalia see below whilst in the video above the extent of the current crisis is discussed.
