MEER faces some of the world’s most complex and protracted humanitarian crises. Shifting conflict dynamics, climate shocks, and economic deterioration continue to drive multi-layered and chronic needs. Despite the volatile context, shrinking funding and civic space, and access challenges, World Vision has maintained operational presence and scaled up humanitarian programming across the region for more than five decades.

World Vision is a leading humanitarian actor in West Africa, delivering timely, accountable support to children and communities affected by crises.

World Vision Lebanon is calling for urgent protection and support for children as expanding evacuation orders and escalating insecurity trigger a new wave of internal displacement across Lebanon. Since the first hours of the escalation, World Vision Lebanon has reached more than 57,000 people, including more than 20,000 children, with blankets, hot meals, family hygiene kits, and mattresses among other supplies. However, humanitarian needs are expected to continue rising in the coming days, with thousands of children likely to require psychosocial support and protection services.

Juma Ignatius says women bear the brunt of climate and humanitarian crises yet are sidelined. Empowering women’s leadership is vital for children’s futures.

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.
