More than 330 million children in extreme poverty, says UNICEF

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a significant setback in the fight against child poverty, as it led to the abolition of extreme poverty for 30 million fewer children than predicted.
Currently, there are 333 million children living in extreme poverty, deprived not only of basic needs but also dignity, opportunity, or hope. Compounding crises such as COVID-19, conflict, climate change, and economic shocks have further stalled progress.
While extreme child poverty has been declining in all regions, sub-Saharan Africa still faces significant challenges, with 40 percent of children in the region living in extreme poverty. Rapid population growth, COVID-19, and climate-related disasters have exacerbated the situation.
