Emergencies conquered headlines in 2012 and the report notes that the association and its partners responded to 286 humanitarian situations in 79 countries.

Therapeutic feeding programmers for more than 2.1 million severely underfed children under the age of five. Measles immunization for nearly 44 million children up to the age of 15.

The horrific disagreement in Syria demanded a particular effort; UNICEF helped give access to uninterrupted education for nearly 80,000 children affected by the conflict, supported measles vaccination for more than 1.4 million children and provided psychosocial care for an estimated 47,000 children.
