Due to unprecedented levels of violence, restrictions on movement and economic challenges, a major humanitarian crisis is ongoing in the West Bank. To support communities, World Vision has continued its emergency response in April and May 2025, reaching 92,000 people including 60,000 children in 7 governorates. Read our report to learn more about our response.

Communities in the West Bank are enduring a deepening crisis. Daily life has become increasingly difficult due to a sharp rise in violence, severe restrictions on movement, and the sudden loss of access to work. In response to the worsening situation, World Vision undertook a broad listening exercise to better understand how families in the West Bank are coping and what support they need most. By engaging with parents, children, community leaders, and volunteers across a wide area, we aimed to capture the real-life impact of the crisis on people’s everyday lives.

Unexploded ordnance (UXO) continues to kill and maim children across Afghanistan. Laurentia Jora, World Vision’s Strategic Communications Manager, takes you inside the home of a family in Qarchiqai, Qadis district, Badghis province, who lost two sons to these deadly remnants of war. Eight-year-old Jamaluddin, cousin to the two killed boys and survivor, watched as his closest friends were killed by unexploded ordnance right before his eyes. World Vision Afghanistan and Save the Children warn that as funding for UXO clearance dries up, children – who make up 80% of casualties – are left increasingly vulnerable.

Families across the West Bank are facing an unprecedented crisis marked by hunger, poverty, and fear, according to a new report released today by World Vision. The Unseen Crisis highlights the worsening situation for children, revealing an almost tenfold increase in the number of families reporting that a member had gone a full day without eating since 2022. Three out of four households surveyed are now unable to cover their most essential needs, and half of the children are regularly skipping meals.
