UNICEF Belize Donates 10,000 ‘Emergency’ Biscuits 

UNICEF Belize partnered with the Ministry of Health and Wellness to bolster emergency readiness as the 2025 hurricane season is here. In a handover ceremony at the National Vaccine Building in Belmopan, UNICEF presented 10,000 high-energy biscuits to the ministry.

The biscuits are “specially formulated biscuits designed for emergencies and situations where immediate, readily available nutrition is needed,” UNICEF Belize said in a statement.

The donation is intended to support vulnerable groups, particularly young children and pregnant women, during times of need in the upcoming months.

As UNICEF and the Ministry of Health and Wellness ramp up preparations to support vulnerable populations, the public is also urged to take proactive steps.

With the hurricane season here, households are reminded to assess their readiness and ensure they have essential supplies in place.

Emergency preparedness is a shared responsibility; now is the time to act, when time is on one’s side.
