After two years of relentless bombardment, displacement and deprivation, a ceasefire has finally been agreed in Gaza. For many Palestinians, it offers a moment of respite, but it does not end the suffering. Over the past two years, more than 70,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, many of them children. With homes and infrastructure flattened, nearly 2 million people have been displaced.

The recent conflict in Lebanon has forced over a million people from their homes, leaving towns and refugee camps devastated. Although most displaced families have since returned (following a ceasefire agreed in late 2024), the destruction of homes, services and infrastructure is greater than in the 2006 war—leaving many communities struggling to recover, while attacks continue in the south of Lebanon.

Millions of people in Sudan are facing famine as war devastates lives and forces families to flee. The crisis has become the world’s largest displacement emergency.

Displacement: Over 12 million people have been forced from their homes.

Hunger crisis: 25.6 million people face food insecurity, with 800,000 on the brink of famine.

Health emergency: Cholera outbreaks have killed over 1,000 people, and thousands more are at risk.

The war has devastated livelihoods, destroyed infrastructure and cut off food and aid supplies. The UN warns famine will spread without urgent intervention – the only place in the world at this level of hunger.
