UNICEF calls for more funding to needy children in Jordan


(MENAFN)UNICEF is planning to raise a call for funding to support its winter assistance program for helpless children in Jordan, as the temperatures are getting lower and lower with the approach of winter.

"This is a joint appeal to donors to help bridge the funding gap we are facing to implement our 'winter response'." Juliette Touma, communication officer at UNICEF Regional Office said to The Jordan Times over the phone.

A UNICEF statement has mentioned that so far, UNICEF has received less than 20 per cent of the $73 million that are necessary to cover what the most vulnerable children in Jordan actually need due to the effects of the crisis in the region.
