In the Horn of Africa, more than 10 million children are affected by severe drought.
Unicef, the United Nations agency for children, estimates that this statistic is three million greater than it was two months ago.
They believe the region might suffer "an avalanche of kid deaths" unless additional money is brought in and rainfalls.
The drought, according to Unicef Executive Director Catherine Russell, is "the biggest climate-induced emergency in 40 years."
"People are paying so much attention to Ukraine; all we have to do now is show them what's going on here so they understand the problems; if the rains don't fall, people will undoubtedly perish because it is so little here," she said.
For Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, Eritrea, and Djibouti, Unicef needs roughly $250 million (£199 million).
