Coronavirus, Unicef ​​helps Italy and launches a fundraiser


Coronavirus: for the first time UNICEF intervenes in Italy by sending health materials and launches a fundraiser

The health crisis caused by the spread of coronavirus pushed theUNICEF to send aid to Italy exceptionally, in particular: surgical masks, surgical and test gloves, protective suits and goggles, masks, gowns and thermometers. In support of the Italian government, of the extraordinary commissioner for the coronavirus emergency Domenico Arcuri, and of the Civil Protection, the health structures most in need of health materials will be identified to counter and contain the spread of Covid-19.

"This represents a first concrete aid from UNICEF – to be followed by others – for health workers working on the front lines in our country," said the President of UNICEF Italy Francesco Samengo. «But our commitment will also continue with other initiatives and today with the launch of a campaign fundraiser that will see us committed to dealing with this emergency in the coming months. It is already possible today to make one donation through the website. It is a race against time, we ask everyone to donate. Only together can we do it .

UNICEF's action is aimed at all vulnerable families and children in many countries of the world and in Italy affected by this pandemic. Since late January, we have worked in many areas:
