UNICEF: 347M children at risk from El Niño
UNICEF has warned that the El Niño phenomenon may cause between October and December 2026 more than 347 million children in approximately 100 countries to experience unusual weather patterns, including severe droughts and floods. Data indicates that children in Asia and the Pacific (190 million children) and Eastern and Southern Africa (41 million children) will be most at risk, with projections of increased displacement, malnutrition, water shortages, disease outbreaks, as well as disruptions to education. UNICEF called on governments and organizations to take early action to strengthen communities' resilience to the impacts of climate change and to protect essential services for children.
