The October 2023 - October 2025 West Bank Situation Report details how World Vision has been responding to the needs of the most vulnerable people.

Since October 2023, World Vision has reached more than 1 million people in the West Bank in response to the worsening humanitarian situation.

Menstrual poverty remains one of the most critical, yet often unseen, barriers to girls’ education in Zambia. For many young women, especially in rural areas, the inability to afford basic sanitary products or access clean facilities leads to shame, fear, and chronic absenteeism. The Ministry of Education's data reveals the devastating educational cost: inadequate Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) causes Zambian girls to miss at least 36 days of classes per year, disrupting their studies and contributing to the low completion rates, with 44% of girls dropping out before finishing secondary school.

In vulnerable communities in the West Bank, children and caregivers have a lot of reasons to feel fear and stress amid unprecedented violence and restrictions. Through a BMZ-funded project implemented by World Vision and local partner Juzoor, adolescents build life skills, learn to understand their emotions, and support their friends, while parents discover positive parenting tools that transform relationships at home.

Why investing in children is the smartest path toward growth, jobs and a more resilient planet and why despite the challenges, she left the meetings feeling more optimistic than discouraged.

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 April and May 2025, reaching 92,000 people including 60,000 children in 7 governorates.

New findings from UNICEF’s State of the World’s Children 2025 remind us that more than 417 million children are severely deprived in at least two essential areas of life.

Communities in the West Bank are enduring a deepening crisis. Daily life has become increasingly difficult due to a sharp rise in violence, severe restrictions on movement, and the sudden loss of access to work. In response to the worsening situation, World Vision undertook a broad listening exercise to better understand how families in the West Bank are coping and what support they need most. By engaging with parents, children, community leaders, and volunteers across a wide area, we aimed to capture the real-life impact of the crisis on people’s everyday lives.
