One million children in Gaza are caught up in one of the most politicised conflicts in the world. GazaReal, Terre des hommes’ new virtual reality film, exposes the challenges they face.

Araoudat, 14 ans, est une jeune fille qui a été forcée de quitter, avec sa mère, son village Gossi dans la région de Tombouctou pour trouver refuge à Gao. Sans aucune ressource, elles sont hébergées par un parent proche, luimême assez vulnérable pour subvenir à leurs besoins.

When will there be an end in sight for the Syrian crisis, already in its eighth year? Every day, the horrors continue. Ongoing violence in areas such as Ghouta has made a political solution increasingly unlikely. Most refugees are currently living in neighbouring countries, where millions of children have never known anything but war and exile. Tdh has launched a new project to give this generation of young people the possibility to experience childhood and to build brighter futures.

Seven years of war in Syria have taken their toll on the lives of millions of young Syrian refugees. Seeking shelter in neighbouring countries, they face extremely precarious situations. The number of girls leaving school and becoming child brides is on the rise. Fatma, who lives in Jordan, was almost one of these girls. Thanks to Terre des hommes (Tdh), she learned that marriage could wait.

It’s already four years since the conflict in Eastern Ukraine started. Although it is less present in the news, the situation is far from resolved. More than 54,000 children live in areas where the sound of shootings and bombs is a part of their reality, observes Nikita Kovchuga, Tdh Child Protection Field Officer in Ukraine. An interview.

How do you personally live the crisis?
