The UN agency is seeking to raise $ 25.5 million to protect children particularly in Burundi and providing assistance to Burundian refugees who fled to Rwanda and Tanzania.
250 million children live in countries affected by conflict including in Africa. A situation deplored Tuesday the UNICEF (UNICEF). To help, UNICEF needs $ 2.8 billion for the year 2016.

The Unicef finding could not be clearer: "The number of children involved in humanitarian crises around the world is staggering and appalling." Children are twice as likely to die from mostly preventable diseases, according to the agency indicating that the envelope requested will enable him to help 76 million people, including 43 million children, in 63 countries.

In terms of Africa, UNICEF requested $ 25.5 million to protect children in Burundi and providing assistance to Burundian refugees who fled to Rwanda and Tanzania. 188.9 million to meet humanitarian needs in Nigeria, Cameroon, Niger and Chad. The appeal also concerns countries facing protracted crises such as the Democratic Republic of Congo and Sudan.

However, the largest part of the budget, nearly $ 1.16 billion, will be dedicated to the crisis in Syria and Syrian refugees in Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey.

Florida State settles lawsuit with Jameis Winston accuser Erica Kinsman for $950,000

Florida State has settled a federal Title IX lawsuit with Erica Kinsman, a former student who said she was raped by quarterback Jameis Winston in 2012. The settlement was announced on Monday, more than a year after she initially filed the complaint in federal court. FSU agreed to pay Kinsman $950,000 – an amount that includes attorney’s fees – as well as make a five-year commitment to awareness, prevention and training programs. The lump sum is the largest settlement for Title IX claims regarding indifference to a student’s reported sexual assault. “I will always be disappointed that I had to leave the school I dreamed of attending since I was little,” Kinsman said in a statement. “I am happy that FSU has committed to continue making changes in order to ensure a safer environment for all students.” FSU did not admit to liability in the settlement, which university president John Thrasher said the school agreed to in order to avoid additional litigation e...

Coastal towns: 'This flooding is worse than Sandy'

Beach communities in New Jersey and Delaware were evaluating the aftermath from the massive winter storm as high tides washed out dunes and brought icy water into the streets. Delaware's sand-enriched beaches from Lewes to Fenwick Island took a whipping as dunes were flattened and wiped away . The ones that remained looked like a giant front-end loader came through and scooped off the face, leaving a jagged series of cliffs. Sand fencing lay crumpled like the tracks from a derelict roller coaster. And in Rehoboth, the boardwalk buckled in places from the force of waves pounding the boards from the bottom up. A frosting of sand an inch thick covered the popular attraction at the end of Rehoboth Avenue. The shoreline destruction was coastwide and included extensive bayshore flooding. It makes "us very, very vulnerable," said Anthony Pratt , Delaware's shoreline and waterway administrator. The tally is bad: Gone is the entire dune at the n...
