Middle East Crisis

Right now, children in the Middle East need your help to survive.

Give now

Every child deserves safety

Escalating violence is putting millions of children’s lives at risk. Right now, children are traumatised. They don't know where their next meal will come from, or if they'll have a safe place to sleep.

For more than 50 years World Vision has worked alongside communities across the region - and we’re not leaving now. We continue to stand with children and families in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Afghanistan, Türkiye and the West Bank, all of which are experiencing the ripple effects of the current conflict.

Your gift today can help us reach even more families with life-saving food, clean water, shelter, health services and protection.


Give now to help children in the Middle East

Families who've lost everything need your help.

Families who've lost everything need your help.

In Lebanon, children are sleeping in overcrowded shelters. Schools have closed and hospitals are overwhelmed.

In Syria, families fleeing missiles in Lebanon have nowhere to turn. They're arriving with nothing.

In the West Bank, communities face restricted movement and growing violence.

Families who have lost everything urgently need food, water, shelter, healthcare and protection. Every minute counts.

Right now, we’re working alongside local partners and communities to provide life-saving support to children and families who need it most.

“We know from working with communities in Lebanon, the West Bank, Syria, Jordan, and Türkiye, how ongoing conflict, violence and displacement over recent years and months emotionally and physically damages children. This cycle of violence must come to an end, allowing children to thrive and reach their God-given potential."

- Eleanor Monbiot, World Vision's Regional Leader for the Middle East.
