Profile: Ukraine Crisis Response

As the Ukraine Crisis Response enters its fourth year, the impact of war continues to devastate the lives of millions, particularly children. Over the past three years, World Vision has reached more than 2 million people, including nearly 1 million children, providing critical support such as education, mental health services, cash assistance, livelihoods, winterisation and protection initiatives. Despite these efforts, the challenges remain immense. Millions of children are still displaced, struggling to access the basic needs every child deserves, and deprived of their rights to safety, education, health and home.

Dollow, Somalia faces severe health issues, with acute malnutrition prevalent due to insufficient food and milk intake, further aggravated by disease outbreaks and a lack of healthcare and WASH services. The situation has led to a spike in malnutrition cases, especially among children under five, exacerbated by the region's enduring drought that has severely limited access to clean water and sanitation facilities. This has resulted in the spread of diseases such as Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD) and measles.

Every week, an average of 16 children are casualties of war. Since the conflict started, 659 children have been killed and 1,747 have been injured. Millions of Ukrainian children continue to have their lives shattered by daily violence, displacement, disrupted education, limited healthcare access, the effects of mental health disorders and trauma, family separation, and violations of their human rights.

World Vision’s Global CAT III Northern Ethiopia Crisis Response (NECR) was launched in December 2020. It reached over 8.9 million conflict-affected individuals, including 4.1 million children, across the Tigray, Amhara, and Afar regions, delivering lifesaving assistance and fostering resilience in the face of one of the country’s most complex humanitarian crises.

Lebanon is grappling with a severe humanitarian crisis following 14 months of escalating violence. Over 4,000 people have been killed, including 290 children and 790 women, while nearly 1.2 million people have been displaced. Despite a 60-day cessation of hostilities, fragile security conditions prevent over 160,900 people from returning home. Many remain in temporary shelters, facing destroyed infrastructure and limited access to basic services. Nearly 100,000 homes have been fully or severely damaged, rendering thousands homeless and exacerbating vulnerabilities among at-risk populations.
