World Vision's presence and contributions at the 2025 European Humanitarian Forum.

Climate change, conflict, and hunger are creating a crisis for the world's most vulnerable, with nearly 90% seeing climate change as a serious threat.

Due to unprecedented levels of violence, restrictions on movement and economic challenges, a major humanitarian crisis is ongoing in the West Bank. To support communities, World Vision has continued its emergency response in february and March 2025, reaching 193,000 people including 110,000 children in 7 governorates. Read our report to learn more about our response.

World Vision Ethiopia with funding from the World Food Programme (WFP), has been distributing emergency food assistance to the affected communities.

Nearly one month on from Myanmar's devastating earthquake, thousands of children and their families who have lost their homes are preparing to face the imminent monsoon rains, which threaten to increase health risks and exacerbate their suffering. Their desperate situation comes as humanitarian agencies appeal for increased aid funding to address the massive shortfalls and provide essential support to those in need.

Following the second deadline for the cessation of hostilities on 18 February 2025, the country to the south of Lebanon withdrew from population centres in southern Lebanon while maintaining a military presence in five strategic locations along the Blue Line. Despite these developments, military tensions persisted, with reports of demolitions and shelling in border villages before and after the withdrawal, resulting in civilian casualties, raising the total number to 4,200 civilian deaths since the escalation. Meanwhile, protests erupted in Beirut, Bekaa, and Mount Lebanon between 14 and 16 February over internal political disputes, further heightening instability in the country. Humanitarian conditions remain critical, with 98,994 people still displaced outside their district of origin, while 950,652 have returned home despite extensive damage to infrastructure and limited access to essential services. Entire neighbourhoods, particularly in border villages, have been left in ruins due to sustained bombardments, with water networks, electricity grids, and medical facilities heavily damaged or rendered inoperable. Schools and hospitals have suffered significant destruction, depriving communities of essential healthcare and education services. Additionally, roads and bridges in affected areas remain impassable, further obstructing aid delivery and recovery efforts. Lebanon is also facing an increasing humanitarian burden due to the arrival of 89,400 people from Syria into Baalbek Governorate, including 20,000 returning Lebanese, further straining already overstretched resources. With fluctuating displacement trends and ongoing security challenges, the country remains in a fragile state, requiring sustained international support to stabilise affected communities, rehabilitate vital infrastructure, and ensure access to essential services for those in need.
