Ahead of the 2025 World Bank Annual Meetings, the Multilateral Development Bank Nutrition Financing Advocacy Coalition has issued a joint statement

Since October 2023, World Vision has reached more than 1 million people in the West Bank in response to the worsening humanitarian situation.

The coalition’s call comes at a defining moment for global development. Investing in nutrition is an imperative for human development and children’s right to thrive.

World Vision welcomes a Gaza peace deal, marking a vital step toward healing for millions of children affected by two years of devastating conflict.

800,000 children in the West Bank are starting a new school year while facing violence, movement restrictions, economic hardship and reduced learning time.

Over the past two years of hostilities, World Vision Lebanon (WVL) has mounted a comprehensive and sustained response across multiple sectors to address both immediate humanitarian needs and longer-term recovery challenges. Rooted in our commitment to protecting children and the most vulnerable, our interventions have spanned emergency assistance, infrastructure rehabilitation and resilience building.

World Vision has introduced a psychosocial programme that's healing the invisible wounds—stress, anxiety, and trauma—which can leave deep scars if ignored.

World Vision's Positive Discipline intervention to support caregivers has been completed, with results showing that it was a great success.

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.
