Over 1 million children in the Sahel region of Africa are facing severe malnutrition due to ongoing food crises caused by drought and poor harvests. The UNICEF warns that 15 million people across countries like Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso and Chad are at risk of food insecurity. Without emergency aid, an entire generation of children in the impoverished Sahel region faces a future of poverty, dependency and threatened survival due to the lack of nutrition.

3. The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) is
warning that more than a million children below
the age of five in the Sahel are facing a disaster
amid the ongoing food crisis in the drought-
prone region of Africa.
They are among the some 15 million people
estimated to be at risk of food insecurity in
countries in the Sahel, including 5.4 million
people in Niger, three million in Mali, 1.7 million
in Burkina Faso and 3.6 million in Chad, as well
as hundreds of thousands in Senegal, the
Gambia, and Mauritania, according to UN
figures.

4. “A multiple disaster is stalking children in the
Sahel“. “Even in a best case scenario we are
expecting more than a million children
suffering from severe and acute malnutrition to
enter feeding centres over the next six months.
“Without a good emergency response an entire
generation faces a future of dependency,
poverty and threatened survival.” Sparse
rainfall, poor harvests and rising food prices
have left many vulnerable and weak, seeking
medical attention. Sahel is one of the poorest
regions in the world where children already
face daunting odds of survival
