El año 2024 fue especialmente difícil para la infancia. Los conflictos cada vez más violentos, las conmociones climáticas y la pobreza provocaron un aumento drástico de las necesidades de los niños y niñas, justo cuando los recursos necesarios para atenderlas se reducían de forma constante. ...
Pese a todo, tal como muestra este Informe anual, UNICEF mantuvo su presencia en más de 190 países y territorios, donde protegió y salvó la vida a millones de niños y niñas incluso en los lugares más remotos. En colaboración con nuestros aliados, suministramos agua salubre e instalaciones de saneamiento, brindamos protección y apoyo psicosocial y prestamos servicios de salud, nutrición, inmunización, educación y capacitación.
En 2025, el panorama mundial sigue estando presidido por cambios políticos importantes, volatilidad, incertidumbre económica y crisis humanitarias cada vez más graves. Si queremos rendir frutos, UNICEF debe dar lo mejor de sí.
Pero los recortes en la financiación –los que ya se han anunciado y los que hay previstos– están limitando la capacidad de UNICEF para llegar a millones de niños y niñas en situación de extrema necesidad. Estos nuevos recortes están generando una crisis mundial de financiación que pondrá en peligro la vida de millones de niños y niñas más.

This video highlights the significant risks that malaria poses to pregnant and breastfeeding women in malaria-endemic regions. It follows the stories of Angavu from Kenya, Moyinoluwa from Nigeria and Lamai from Thailand. It emphasises the severe consequences that malaria can have during pregnancy, i...ncluding miscarriage, stillbirth, low birth weight and maternal death. Due to safety concerns, pregnant women are often excluded from antimalarial drug trials, which causes long delays in effective medicines becoming available for this vulnerable group. To address this issue, the Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV) launched the Malaria in Mothers and Babies (MiMBa) initiative, which aims to accelerate the discovery, development, and delivery of safe antimalarial treatments for pregnant and breastfeeding women. The initiative aims to close critical gaps in research, drug development, and access, ensuring that these women and their babies are better protected against malaria. The video calls for continued efforts to address the needs of underserved populations most affected by malaria.
