Children across the Middle East are in grave danger of physical harm, severe emotional distress, and displacement following an escalation in hostilities in the region, said Save the Children.

A deadly mix of conflict, climate change, and poverty has pushed 2.3 million children aged under 5 in South Sudan into life-threatening acute malnutrition, with rates soaring just months after foreign governments announced the slashing of funds to the world's poorest countries, Save the Children said.

In response to the new hub system for aid distribution in Gaza, Save the Children President & CEO Janti Soeripto has released a statement.

The lives of the 1.1 million children in Gaza are urgently threatened by spiraling acute food insecurity as new data from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) found 93% of people are experiencing crisis-level acute food insecurity or worse.

At least 19 children were killed and 78 others injured in attacks across Ukraine in April, making it the deadliest recorded month for children in nearly three years.

One child every 10 seconds on average has been forced to flee their homes since the conflict began in Sudan two years ago, according to new analysis from Save the Children.

The number of children going hungry in war-torn eastern regions of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has surged 50% due to an escalation in violence this year.

Thousands of displaced families, including children and newborn babies, in Syria’s coastal city of Latakia are facing severe shortages of blankets, food, water, and electricity after deadly clashes earlier this month, with Save the Children delivering emergency supplies.

Time is running out for the nearly one million residents of Sudan's biggest refugee camp, many of whom are children, with food and medical supplies nearly depleted and Save the Children warning that it has just two days of medical supplies left in its mobile health clinics.

The INGO Forum strongly condemns the escalating violence in Sudan's North Darfur. The deliberate targeting of civilians and displacement camps has turned the region into a death trap for over a million people.
