UNICEF Canada is calling on Canadians to donate to the humanitarian group so it can help the people of Nepal following a deadly earthquake.

President and CEO David Morley said 42 per cent of the population of Nepal is under 18 years of age and they are the most vulnerable in an emergency.

“An earthquake of this size can be deadly, toppling buildings, and destroying roads and infrastructure,” Morley said in a statement released Saturday.

“We are keeping our promise to Nepal’s children to always be there for them — in this emergency and every day,” he said.

It was the worst tremor to hit the poor South Asian nation in over 8 decades.
