AMMAN, 4 March 2026 - At least 100 million children in countries directly impacted by the escalating violence in the Middle East and wider region ​face deepening fear, distress and the risk of physical harm and displacement, Save the Children said.

We reached out to our friends at Arsenal and co-created a physical education class which will be broadcast to millions of children isolating at home in Jordan.

Claire Milligan, a Senior Child Protection Adviser at Save the Children discusses the Coaching for Life program and how we are supporting girls across the world. With more refugees and internally displaced people in the world today than ever before and an ever-expanding global poverty gap, children are increasingly exposed to conflict, trauma and violence.
