UNICEF Executive Director visits Chad to highlight looming crisis in Sahel
UNICEF correspondent Chris Niles reports on Executive Director Anthony Lake’s visit to Chad highlighting the looming nutrition crisis in the Sahel. The emergency threatens over 1 million children with deadly malnutrition.

Sounding the alarm for the children of the Sahel
Right now in the Sahel, the lives of one million children hang in the balance.
Crops have failed in eight drought-hit countries, leaving families with almost nothing to eat and at risk from malnutrition.
The people of the Sahel are resilient, but they have a limit, and it has been reached. Your support could make the difference.
Watch the video. Share it with friends. Sound the alarm. http://www.unicef.org
PHOTO OF THE WEEK: 13 February 2012
Over 100,000 children in Chad’s Sahel belt suffer from malnutrition, the result of food shortages and rising prices, poverty and ongoing conflict. Conflict also contributes to health and educational risks for children; Chad, once free of polio, suffered 134 cases in 2011 after the polio virus was reimported. Throughout the country, UNICEF supports programmes in nutrition, health, education and protection. A UNICEF-supported kindergarten in N’Djamena.
