Never has a child started a war. Yet, it is precisely children who often suffer the consequences of brutal wartime violence. We are deeply concerned about the escalating violence in the Middle East. War is unpredictable, but we ensure that children can rely on us. This also applies to children growing up in other conflict zones, such as Ukraine or Sudan. Support for them remains crucial. We cannot do this alone.
