THE SITUATION: CHILDREN IN CONFLICT

Today, a record number of children, 450 million, that’s – 1 in 6 – are living in conflict around the world. Children are on the frontlines of an unprecedented global humanitarian crisis and their right to survival, protection and education are under threat. And there’s no end in sight.

• In Ukraine, over 7.5 million children are in grave danger of physical harm, severe emotional distress and displacement.
• In Syria, 14.6 million people, including 6.5 million children, are in need of humanitarian assistance amid ongoing violence and displacement.
• In Yemen, an estimated 20.7 million people – or two-thirds of the population – require some form of humanitarian assistance.
• In Myanmar, more than a quarter of the country’s population is in need of humanitarian assistance – and 5 million children are in need of urgent assistance.

Children everywhere have the right to live in peace and safety. As conflict rages around the world – from Ukraine to Myanmar, Syria to Yemen – join Save the Children’s call to #StopTheWarOnChildren.

SAVE THE CHILDREN’S RESPONSE

• In times of crisis, when children are at their most vulnerable, Save the Children is there.
• We are always among the first organizations to deliver life-saving support and humanitarian aid for children and their families.
• We provide access to safe, inclusive, quality education for children, so their education isn’t disrupted.
• We create child-friendly spaces, where children have the opportunity to play, learn, feel safe and regain a sense of normality in the midst of conflict.
• When children experience trauma, we work to ensure they receive the care, rehabilitation and psychosocial support they need to be children again.
• And we provide families with cash support, food and kits containing blankets, solar-powered lamps and kitchen utensils, so they can meet basic needs like food, rent and medicine.
