LEBANON CRISIS RESPONSE

The conflict crisis In Lebanon that escalated in end September 2024 forced the displacement of over one million children and families. Since then, schools were turned into a place for families to live, disrupting the education of children. The ceasefire announced on 27 November 2024 in Lebanon offers an opportunity for children and families to rebuild their lives. However, in end January 2025, at least 30 civilian casualties were recorded. Access to villages in South Lebanon remains restricted, preventing people from returning home and posing security risks for displaced families attempting to rebuild their lives.

Due to the massive destruction of homes and infrastructure during the conflict, thousands are still unable to return home. They continue to stay in the schools as temporary shelters. Food insecurity continues to rise with 1.65 million people facing crisis-level food shortages.

Considerable humanitarian aid effort is required to rehabilitate houses, infrastructure and schools. World Vision is helping children to catch up with the loss years of education and bring back normalcy in their lives through education retention programmes. World Vision is also supporting displaced families and returnees who are facing severe shortages of winter clothing, bedding and heating. World Vision is distributing food parcels and assisting agricultural households with essential farming tools, seeds and resources to help restart local food production.

Life Support In Protracted Crises

Help Children Living in the World's Most Dangerous Places Recover & Build A Future

Millions of children live amongst conflict, political unrest and ongoing instability. In these dangerous, conflict-torn places, situations can change quickly, frequently, and often in an instant. Children live on a knife-edge and suffer extreme levels of deprivation, abuse, exploitation, and violence, often for generations. Over 103 million people globally have been displaced, among whom more than 40% are children. Many were born into war and conflict. World Vision continues to standby our commitment to help these children living in protracted crises to survive and build some normalcy in their childhood to live on.

Iraq

The Tooz District in Iraq is home to one of the largest returnee populations after the closure of IDP camps. Many of the returnees face severe challenges in accessing economic opportunities and WASH facilities. Children with disabilities in particular are denied access to quality education and face social isolation. World Vision seeks to implement a specialised catchup programme to focus on basic literacy and numeracy for these children and to also strengthen social support capabilities in school for them.
