We will never give up on children living through conflict. 🖤

@warchilduk.bsky.socialThis year in particular, your support is key. Children in the Middle East are suffering from escalating violence. Since March, 308,000 children have been displaced, and over 1 million children need support. Together, we can help protect, educate, and stand up for their rights. 3/4
@warchilduk.bsky.socialDon’t underestimate the impact you can make. Just last year, the @jinglejam.co.uk community raised a record-breaking £478,000 for War Child, showing the incredible power of gaming and communities.

@warchilduk.bsky.socialWar Child is demanding immediate action to protect children and civilians in Yemen, uphold International Humanitarian Law and urgently increase and sustain funding for the protection, education and mental health services children need. 4/4
@warchilduk.bsky.socialWar Child and our local partner, Benaa Charity for Human Development are responding to the urgent needs of affected children and families, providing lifesaving items and support for their wellbeing and protection, as well as helping them access essential services. 3/4
@warchilduk.bsky.socialBut the danger facing children extends beyond the immediate fighting. More children were killed by landmines and unexploded weapons in the first six months of 2026 than in the whole of 2025, showing how dangerous daily life has become for children. 2/4
@warchilduk.bsky.socialAfter 11 years of conflict, children in Yemen are once again facing some of the deadliest fighting in years. Renewed clashes in the west of the country have already displaced 1,790 households, forcing 18,500 people from their homes in just 72 hours. 1/4
@warchilduk.bsky.socialOngoing violence and instability has a profound impact on children’s safety, wellbeing and mental health. Whilst more action is needed, this is a important shift in the UK's approach to the protection of children. 2/2
@warchilduk.bsky.socialWar Child UK welcomes the Foreign Secretary’s announcement to ban trade with illegal settlements in the West Bank as a positive step towards strengthening the UK’s compliance with international law and protecting children from harm. 1/2

@warchilduk.bsky.socialAcross the Middle East, 52 million children have had their education disrupted by war in the past six months. As children elsewhere prepare to return to school, millions face another year without safe, consistent learning. Every child has the right to an education.
