Highlights

  • Refugee and migrant flows in Europe are at an unprecedented high – so far this year, almost 793,000 people have arrived by sea. Some 158,000 of them are children.

  • The month of October has seen an increasing number of families with children and babies, unaccompanied children and children with disabilities.

  • Between 19 and 31 October, more than 12,440 children have rested and played in UNICEF child-friendly spaces in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Serbia and Croatia.

  • More than 1,800 babies and infants used UNICEF mother-and-baby care centres in Serbia and Croatia during the second half of October.

  • UNICEF has started winterization activities in a number of countries: 2,000 children received folium for protection from hypothermia in Croatia, 1,500 babies were provided with baby blankets in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, and 300 children received raincoats in Serbia.

  • The speed of population movements and the limited government registration capacities remain the major challenges for UNICEF’s response to the crisis.

  • UNICEF requires US$9,677,686 out of a total appeal of US$14,019,135 to respond to the crisis, with a funding gap of 69 per cent. So far, UNICEF has received US$ 4,341,449.
