In 2013 Save the Children responded to over 120 humanitarian crises around the world.
In any crisis, children are always the most vulnerable. We make sure that children affected by floods, famines, earthquakes and armed conflict get life-saving medical aid, shelter, food and water – fast. We safeguard children and help reunite separated families. And we help children recover from crises by providing emotional support and safe places to learn and play.
We prepare ourselves and at-risk communities, so we can act rapidly and reduce disaster risks for children. After large-scale emergencies such as Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, the Haitian earthquake and Japanese tsunami, we remain on the ground to help children and their families rebuild their lives.
