Across the world, hunger crises are disproportionately impacting children. Learn why children are especially vulnerable to famine and what the IRC is doing to help. 

Many children suffer severe acute malnutrition in Nigeria as a result of the over a decade-long armed conflict which has displaced many families from their homelands and their source of livelihoods. IRC continues to provide health care services to malnourished children and their mothers in Nigeria.

Sudan is now the country with the largest number of displaced people and the largest child displacement crisis in the world.

East Africa is facing its worst drought in 40 years and there are now over 1.4 million people displaced by drought in Somalia alone. Learn more about drought, what causes it, and how we can support those most impacted.
