LEBANON CRISIS RESPONSE

The escalating conflict in Lebanon is forcing families to desperately seek safety. With the conflict crisis spreading from the South to Beirut, Bekaa and beyond, 1.7 million children living in Lebanon face death, injury, and forced displacement. Schools have closed, and are being repurposed into temporary shelters for thousands of internally displaced people. More than 2,000 people have been killed including children and women. Over 6,000 have been injured and over a million people have been displaced. There are children, who are going up to 24 hours without food, pregnant women sleeping on floors without a mattress or blanket in the cold weather, and nursing mothers so hungry that they cannot produce milk for their babies.

You can help children and families caught in the crossfire of this conflict by:

• Providing essential items to displaced families, including clean water, hot meals, hygiene kits, and warm clothing for the coming winter
• Providing rapid emergency supplies (i.e. mattresses, blankets) to help families replace essential items after losing their homes
• Providing psychosocial support to children experiencing anxiety and distress due to the escalation of violence, and equipping parents to support their children's emotional needs
• Educational materials for children whose education has been disrupted by displacement

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.

Afghanistan

Since the Taliban seized power, the economy has deteriorated to the point of total collapse. The pre-existing crisis, including drought, COVID-19, loss of livelihood, rising food prices, reduced inflow remittances, together with the recent conflicts have driven the country into a humanitarian catastrophe. Almost 95% of the population is unable to access adequate food supplies. We are committed to improve the food security, strengthen health, WASH facilities and provide child protection services for at-risk children.

Bangladesh

The world's largest refugee camp in Cox's Bazar, is home to one million Rohingya refugees, half of whom are children. More than 30,000 children are born in the camp every year with no safe place to live, food to eat, or opportunity to learn. In a bid to ease the congestion, 32,000 Rohingya refugees have been relocated to an offshore island of Bangladesh, known as Bhasan Char. World Vision is providing child-friendly spaces that will offer holistic support in child protection, education and nutrition for Rohingya child refugees.

Five years on from the Marawi Siege, the armed conflict between the government forces and militants in Marawi, many families are still living in transitional shelters and host communities that lack necessary services for health, education, water and food. Poverty abounds and tension remains high as outlawed armed groups continue to persist. World Vision is promoting peacebuilding for children, improving access to education, health and nutrition services, and child protection programmes in schools.
