The October 2023 - October 2025 West Bank Situation Report details how World Vision has been responding to the needs of the most vulnerable people.

Since October 2023, World Vision has reached more than 1 million people in the West Bank in response to the worsening humanitarian situation.

Global social activist Graça Machel has been awarded the World Vision Mozambique Child Well-Being Champion title for her contributions toward creating an environment where children—especially girls—can live life to the fullest.

Ahead of the 2025 World Bank Annual Meetings, the Multilateral Development Bank Nutrition Financing Advocacy Coalition has issued a joint statement

World Vision welcomes a Gaza peace deal, marking a vital step toward healing for millions of children affected by two years of devastating conflict.

800,000 children in the West Bank are starting a new school year while facing violence, movement restrictions, economic hardship and reduced learning time.

Matthew Pickard, Regional Director for World Vision Southern Africa, reflects on Mozambique’s powerful example of post-conflict recovery and resilience. Drawing from personal experience in Niassa Province after the civil war, he emphasises that peace is not solely the product of political agreements—it is built and sustained by communities. Yet, Mozambique’s peace remains fragile. In Cabo Delgado, ongoing insurgency has displaced over 50,000 people since early 2024. He reaffirms that Mozambique’s story underscores a critical development truth: sustainable peace is people-powered. When local leadership, civil society, and governments collaborate, transformation is not only possible—it’s inevitable.

World Vision has introduced a psychosocial programme that's healing the invisible wounds—stress, anxiety, and trauma—which can leave deep scars if ignored.

Due to unprecedented levels of violence, restrictions on movement and economic challenges, a major humanitarian crisis is ongoing in the West Bank. To support communities, World Vision has continued its emergency response in April and May 2025, reaching 92,000 people including 60,000 children in 7 governorates.
