Uganda hosts over 1.5 million refugees, the highest number in Africa; however, with the funding shortage, children under five are at high risk of Malnutrition and child hunger.

Maurice Sadlier explains that just because Syria is "free" doesn't mean refugees will head home... yet.

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.

After being displaced twice, first from Syria, then from Lebanon, Khloud and her family returned to a home in Syria that was barely standing.

In 2022, while in grade 5, Malita (not a real name) was envious of her friends who could afford various snacks like biscuits, which she could not. In many rural areas, young girls like Malita face significant challenges such as poverty, limited access to education, lack of proper health services, and exposure to risky social environments. An older boy in her community offered her biscuits, but at a cost. Malita involved herself in unsafe sexual activities with him, the provider of the biscuits, which resulted in her becoming pregnant.

"They sit on pieces of cardboard, hot, thirsty, with nowhere to be." Thousands of Afghans are being pushed back from Iran every day. At Islam Qala, Thamindri De Silva, World Vision's National Director, stands at the heart of the crisis - children waiting in the dust, hungry, dehydrated, some alone, all unsure where to go or what comes next. In Ghor, Mark shows us what they're returning to: drought, hunger, and empty clinics that were meant to serve thousands - now abandoned after funding cuts. 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.

Families across the West Bank are facing an unprecedented crisis marked by hunger, poverty, and fear, according to a new report released today by World Vision. The Unseen Crisis highlights the worsening situation for children, revealing an almost tenfold increase in the number of families reporting that a member had gone a full day without eating since 2022. Three out of four households surveyed are now unable to cover their most essential needs, and half of the children are regularly skipping meals.  

As climate induced disasters get more frequent and intense, proactive and community driven solutions have never been so urgent. Through Anticipatory Action, World Vision has empowered local actors to take preventative measures before disaster strikes.
