Building Resilience, Bringing Hope Everyday

For over 50 years, World Vision has worked to nurture Palestinian children, improve their resilience and bring them hope. Take a look at this short report to learn more about our strategic priorities, our approaches and our achievements in 2024. 

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. Read our report to learn more about our response.

Since early 2022, violence in the region has escalated sharply, with the situation deteriorating further after October 2023. School closures, restricted movement, and a deepening economic crisis have placed children under chronic stress, posing serious risks to their long-term mental health. A recent World Vision survey revealed that 27% of households reported at least one child developing new behavioural issues—such as acting out or regressing—since October 2023.

In response, the two organizations launched the *Enhanced Access to MHPSS Services for Vulnerable Communities in Areas C and B in the West Bank* project. Funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the initiative delivers community-based Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) to children and families affected by trauma, promoting healing and resilience.
