UNICEF has sounded the alarm on the devastating impact of ongoing conflicts across the Middle East and North Africa, revealing that over 12 million children have been killed, maimed, or displaced in the past two years. The organization estimates that half of the region's 220 million children now live in conflict-affected countries, with 45 million requiring humanitarian assistance this year—a sharp rise from previous years. Aid workers on the ground describe harrowing scenes, with children enduring daily trauma, loss of family members, and the collapse of normal childhood routines. Despite efforts to provide psychological support and safe spaces, the scale of suffering threatens to create a lost generation, while funding shortfalls jeopardize essential programs. UNICEF and experts warn that the ongoing brutality risks perpetuating cycles of violence, urging an urgent end to hostilities and increased support for vulnerable children.
