MIDDLE EAST
AND EURASIA

After almost a decade of violence in Syria, at least 6.6 million people have had to flee their homes and are now internally displaced. Children and families are living in terrible conditions where basic services are almost non-existent. Essentials such as healthcare, education and clean water services have been destroyed. Save the Children is reaching the most vulnerable boys and girls in Syria, as well as in refugee-hosting countries.

Life for children in Yemen – which was already the poorest country in the Middle East – has deteriorated into a living nightmare since conflict escalated more than five years ago. Children starve to death daily and are shelled and bombed in their homes and schools. Extreme hunger and disease are killing an estimated 100 children in Yemen every day. The healthcare system is on its knees with over half of medical facilities damaged or closed. Save the Children has been responding to the crisis since the outbreak and are working continuously to support families affected by the violence.

Iraq is among the ten worst conflict-affected countries to be a child. Violent conflict severely disrupts access to education. In many countries, including Iraq, schools, teachers and students have been targeted for attack. In refugee camps in northern Iraq, many children have fallen behind in school, or have dropped out of school. To help them catch up on missed learning, Save the Children supports alternative learning centers, where children are provided with extra support.
