“10 millions people, including children of around 15,000 villages across Odisha have been affected by cyclone FANI. Water sources have been infected, over 5,000 school buildings damaged and over 1,000 health facilities have been disrupted. The situation is grim for children, who are more vulnerable to disease, malnutrition and neglect,” stated UNICEF on its official website.

The UN body called upon all stakeholders to come forward and contribute to help every child in Odisha recover from the horrors of cyclone FANI.
