World Vision Sudan FY24 Annual Report: Highlights impactful humanitarian efforts, supporting 2.8M people, including 1.5M children, amid Sudan's ongoing crisis.

The ongoing crisis in Sudan has had a significant impact on many women and children. Families have been forced to leave their homes in search of safety in neighbouring countries, such as South Sudan. Numerous schools have been destroyed, leaving both students and teachers displaced.

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.
