UNICEF came to the immediate assistance of the people of Bam, providing emergency supplies within hours of the disaster.

Further supplies followed in the form of health supplies, hundreds of obstetric and surgical kits, water purification tablets to ensure a safe drinking supply, portable generators, tents, and school-in-a-box and recreation kits to re-establish normalcy in the lives of the devastated children as quickly as possible.
