Skip to main content CONFLICT IN THE MIDDLE EAST

Across the Middle East and the wider region, escalating regional conflict is having a devastating impact, with children already reportedly killed or injured. Save the Children is calling for an immediate cessation of hostilities to avert a wider conflict that could unleash a humanitarian catastrophe.

Children’s lives and rights are increasingly hanging in the balance. Urgent action is needed to de-escalate hostilities and protect children from experiences no child should have to live through.

Save the Children is working across the region to support children living in conflict. Your support today can make a difference.
