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.

What Awaits Them in Afghanistan? Inside the Forced Return Crisis at Islam Qala
"They sit on pieces of cardboard, hot, thirsty, with nowhere to be."
Thousands of Afghans are being pushed back from Iran every day. At Islam Qala, Thamindri De Silva, World Vision's National Director, stands at the heart of the crisis - children waiting in the dust, hungry, dehydrated, some alone, all unsure where to go or what comes next.

Hope After the Deluge: How Luuq is Rebuilding After Somalia’s 2023 Worst Flooding in a Century
