In the Humanitarian Action for Children report UNICEF has appealed for $1.28 billion to fund its 2012 humanitarian operations in more than 25 countries globally. While the crisis in the Horn of Africa accounts for nearly one-third of the total amount, the list of countries includes many long-standing or "silent" emergencies. The report also highlights the importance of unrestricted donations to be able to deliver lifesaving assistance during silent emergencies, prepare for natural disasters, and prevent humanitarian catastrophes from unfolding.

Once recognized as the epicenter of the polio epidemic, India is on the verge of creating history by stopping the transmission of polio. The UNICEF-supported campaign to stop polio has administered close to 900 million doses of the oral polio vaccine in 2011 alone and has not reported any cases of polio in the last 12 months. The World Health Organization is poised to take India off the list of countries where polio remains endemic. India’s progress proves that it is possible to break the barriers to eradication.
