The Middle East and Eastern Europe region faces some of the world’s most complex and long-lasting humanitarian crises, driven by conflict, climate shocks, and economic decline. Despite insecurity, limited funding, and access challenges, World Vision has sustained and expanded its humanitarian response in the region for over 50 years.

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

Juma Ignatius, Senior Policy Advisor, Climate Action and Disaster Risk Reduction, Disaster Management, brings our attention to the recent Mozambique floods that are often framed as natural disasters, but in reality, it is a story of global inequality, climate inaction and decades of neglect paid for by children who did nothing to cause the crisis.
