Support UNICEF's Response to Typhoon Yagi in Southeast Asia

par UNICEF USA

Nearly 6 million children are impacted as floods and landslides devastate Southeast Asia following Typhoon Yagi, the strongest storm in the region in decades. Children in Viet Nam, Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand face significant risks of losing access to education, clean water, and essential services as widespread flooding and landslides have damaged homes and critical infrastructure. In its wake, over 850 schools and more than 550 health centers were damaged.

In Viet Nam, the country hardest hit by the typhoon, approximately 3 million people lack access to safe drinking water and sanitation, heightening the risk of disease. Approximately 2 million children have also been left without access to education, psychosocial support, and school feeding programs.

In Lao PDR, floods have impacted eight provinces, affecting an estimated 60,000 children, damaging vital infrastructure, and threatening the livelihoods of communities already struggling to cope with negative climate impacts.

In Myanmar, over 170 deaths and more than 320,000 displacements have been reported, while road networks, telecommunications, and electricity infrastructure suffered major damage across central Myanmar.

In northern Thailand, heavy rains and flooding have severely affected nearly 64,000 children, with some schools reporting complete destruction and teachers resorting to online learning and delivering learning materials to students at their homes.

UNICEF has already begun responding with safe drinking water, hygiene materials, nutritional supplements, and medical kits, while also providing mental health support and learning and recreational materials to help children regain a sense of normalcy and continue learning and playing in a safe environment.

Your support can help UNICEF’s ongoing response in the region, ensuring life-saving access of children and families to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH); health and nutrition; education, child protection and social protection, including humanitarian cash assistance.
