MEER MHPSS Support Adviser Mike Kirakossian shares how vulnerable children's mental health is monitored, and the indicators that a child is struggling.

Since March 2026, World Vision Lebanon has reached over 61,500 displaced children and this assistance includes psycho-social and recreational services.

15 years after the Syria conflict began, millions of children are still paying the price. Renewed escalations in the Middle East threaten families already coping with hunger, displacement, and trauma. Today, over 7 million children in Syria need humanitarian assistance, and in 2025, World Vision Syria Response reached 2.5 million children with food, water, education, protection, and psychosocial support. Sustained international support is essential to meet the needs of Syria’s children and help them rebuild their lives after years of crisis.

Across MEER, conflict, climate shocks, and economic crises are destroying livelihoods. World Vision is helping vulnerable families rebuild resilience and hope in 15 countries.

Bangkok, 07 May 2026 - During the 2026 IMRF (International Migration Review Forum) side event, “Bridging Regions, Building Futures: Asia–Arab Youth-Led Solutions on Climate Mobility,” children and young people from Asia and the Arab regions issued a powerful call to action, asserting that their voices are essential in addressing the growing crisis of climate-related migration.

outh leaders at IMRF 2026 urge governments to move beyond debate and implement child-sensitive migration governance that prioritizes legal identity and climate resilience for communities.

World Vision urgently calls on all parties to immediately de-escalate hostilities in the Middle East and work towards a lasting peaceful resolution.

Hunger across parts of the Middle East and Eastern Europe is increasingly driven by economic exclusion and systemic failures rather than a lack of food availability, according to a new policy brief released by World Vision, drawing on evidence from Afghanistan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Lebanon, and the West Bank.

The escalation of violence across the Middle East is placing millions of children and their families at serious risk of harm and death, warns World Vision International.
