This year, nearly 300 million people are in need of humanitarian support. Conflict is one of the major drivers of this need. Its impact on civilians is devastating, especially on children and young people who are often recruited into armed groups, abducted, attacked in schools and hospitals, and subjected to sexual violence. Many of them are out of reach of humanitarian aid.
Conflict is robbing an entire generation of a normal, happy and safe childhood. When conflict breaks out, everyday life, like going to school, feeling safe, growing up surrounded by family and friends, changes profoundly – sometimes overnight.
