US EditionAfrica: Children's Lives 'Turned Upside Down' By Wars Across Middle East, North Africa, Warns Unicef
- On July 1, 2025, UNICEF reported that conflicts over the past two years have killed, injured, or displaced more than 12 million young people across countries in the Middle East and North Africa.
- This situation results from multiple ongoing conflicts, including the Syria civil war, Israel-Palestine violence, and the war in Yemen, worsening children’s vulnerability and displacement every five seconds.
- UNICEF explained that nearly 110 million children live in conflict-affected countries where homes, schools, and health facilities have been destroyed, causing extreme distress and life-threatening exposure.
- Despite urgent needs, Syria and Palestine face 78% and 68% funding gaps for 2025 appeals, and UNICEF's regional programs risk losing $370 million with a projected 20-25% funding cut by 2026.
- UNICEF urges all parties to end hostilities and calls donors to increase support, stressing that only peace and sufficient resources can prevent further harm to children’s lives in the region.
