“This deadly attack is a horrific turning point in the conflict, and utterly devastating for thousands of children and their families who were waiting for these supplies to arrive." Martijn Hekman, Deputy Director of World Vision's Syria Response. Read more.

Pictured are twins, Ahmad and Rasha, sitting with an aid package including items helpful for families with young children. As long as this conflict continues, many children and their families wait desperately for aid with some areas in Syria not receiving aid since July.

The value of education in South Sudan

While fighting continues in South Sudan, children are suffering. Nearly one in every three schools in South Sudan has been destroyed, damaged, occupied or closed, impacting the education of more than 900,000 children.

Chierier, 16-years-old (pictured) attends a school supported by World Vision, "I come to school so that I can learn how to read and write. I love reading the Bible and my favourite verse is “love your neighbour as you love yourself” because if we all loved one another, there would be peace in South Sudan."
