Journée mondiale de l’aide humanitaire 2025 : World Vision appelle à la protection des humanitaires, au financement, à la sécurité et la dignité des enfants touchés par les crises en Afrique de l’Ouest et dans le monde.

This article highlights a growing humanitarian crisis in Nyiragongo territory, north of Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where thousands of displaced people are facing severe water shortages. Formerly a refuge for people fleeing conflict in Rutshuru and Masisi, Nyiragongo now struggles to provide even the most basic necessity: clean water. Testimonies like that of Florence, an internally displaced person (IDP), illustrate the dire situation. People wait for hours in long lines, sometimes traveling up to 8 km, for a single chance at water, which is not only infrequent and unreliable but also costly. This crisis particularly affects children and infants, who are exposed to heat, hunger, and dangerous conditions near water points. The article calls for urgent humanitarian intervention to restore emergency water access, distribute hygiene kits to prevent disease outbreaks, and ensure protection for the most vulnerable.

World Vision Somalia’s Impact in 2024 In 2024, Somalia faced relentless shocks, from devastating floods and ongoing conflict to economic instability, leaving millions struggling to meet their basic needs. With 6.9 million people, including 5 million children, in urgent need, World Vision Somalia, alongside our dedicated partners, stepped up to deliver life-saving assistance and long-term resilience programmes to help communities meet immediate needs, recover, and rebuild. We reached 1.4 million people, nearly 850,000 of them children, providing emergency aid, food security, healthcare, nutrition, clean water, education, and more. From launching our first-ever boat-based emergency response to leading evacuation efforts during historic floods, our dedicated teams stood on the frontlines of hope for children and their communities. We invite you to read this report and see how, together, we made a difference for children.

Nearly two years on, the impact of the 2023 floods still lingers. In Luuq’s largest displacement site, Jazira, over 900 households continue to seek shelter, many displaced multiple times by both climate shocks and conflict. Even after the floodwaters receded, recovery proved painfully slow. With fuel drums costing up to US$200, many farmers couldn’t afford to restart irrigation systems, risking entire planting seasons. World Vision stepped in with emergency fuel support, helping communities resume irrigation and protect their crops.
