For over 50 years, World Vision has worked to nurture Palestinian children, improve their resilience and bring them hope. Take a look at this short report to learn more about our strategy priorities, our approaches and our achievements in 2024.

In december 2024 and January 2025, World Vision provided humanitarian support to 101,000 people in 142 villages as part of our emergency response. Our response focused on community protection, mental health, access to health care and access to safe education.

Around 15% of the population of the West Bank rely economically on the olive harvest. However, due to violence and restrictions on movements, farmers faced many challenges to harvest their olive in 2024 in the West Bank. A World Vision’s survey shows that, in 1 in 4 village of the Central West Bank, farmers are expecting to lose more than half of their harvest. It will have a major impact on their livelihood, increasing food insecurity. We say ENOUGH. All children have the right to live free of violence and hunger.

Assèta and many others had to flee due to Burkina Faso's security crisis, facing tough conditions. Through the "YES KIRE" and "Youth Ready" projects, she received sewing training, regaining hope and confidence.

Nicole's journey is one of resilience and transformation. Orphaned by the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, she was left to care for her five younger siblings in dire conditions. Yet, through hardship, she found strength, eventually forging a path to success. Now a thriving businesswoman and devoted mother, Nicole is an inspiration to many. Her story, once marked by loss and struggle, is now one of hope and triumph—a journey she is documenting in a book with the help of a professional writer. Meeting her, it was clear that her past had shaped her, but it had not defined her.

The agreement on the cessation of hostilities has been extended until February 18. However, in the last week, at least 30 civilian casualties have been recorded. Access to over 70 villages in southern Lebanon remains restricted, preventing people from returning home and posing security risks for displaced populations attempting to rebuild their lives. Humanitarian actors continue to face significant access constraints, making it difficult to provide essential aid to affected communities. While the agreement continues to prevent a return to full-scale conflict, localised violence, military operations and security risks persist. The humanitarian response remains strained, with significant funding gaps limiting aid distribution, infrastructure repairs and healthcare services. Food insecurity continues to rise, with 1.65 million people facing crisis-level food shortages and 201,000 in emergency conditions (IPC Phase 4). The destruction of agricultural land, market disruptions and logistical challenges are further deepening Lebanon’s economic crisis, affecting both displaced and host communities. Despite the challenges, humanitarian actors are scaling up response efforts, repairing homes and shelters, providing warm clothes and heat, and restoring essential services. However, with only 58% of the 2024 Flash Appeal met, a sharp increase in funding is needed to meet growing humanitarian demands. Sustained diplomatic efforts and international support will be essential in preventing further deterioration and ensuring a comprehensive path toward recovery and peace in Lebanon.

To repsond to the humanitarian crisis affecting the West Bank, World Vision launched an emergency operation on the 13th of October 2023. Over the past year, we have collaborated with over 300 volunteers and 250 village councils to deliver life-saving assistance to the most vulnerable. To date, we have supported more than 233,000 people.
