🚨 Conflict in the Middle East

For many children, this war is not an isolated experience

The dramatic escalation of the conflict in the Middle East has triggered a rapidly expanding regional crisis – with devastating consequences for children. Reports indicate that thousands of people, including children, have already been killed or injured.

Across the region, 100 million children are suffering from the current violence – both physically and mentally. Particularly tragic is the fact that many of them are not experiencing this for the first time. The current situation remains dangerous: airstrikes and displacement – in some cases repeated displacement – are fuelling fear and uncertainty.
