The Unseen Crisis: Childhoods shaped by conflict and poverty in the West Bank
Communities in the West Bank are enduring a deepening crisis. Daily life has become increasingly difficult due to a sharp rise in violence, severe restrictions on movement, and the
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.

With millions of Afghans working in Iran to support their families, the scale of what’s coming is far greater than what we see today.
Watch and witness the reality unfolding on the ground.
