A recent study has found that the conflict in the Middle East is having a global impact on poverty. The economic repercussions of the conflict are affecting households worldwide. The study, which analyzed data from over 167 countries, shows that rising food and energy prices are reducing the purchasing power of households.

This is having a disproportionate impact on children from poor households. Further details on the study's findings are available from the source, including the potential for millions of additional children to be pushed into poverty due to the conflict's economic effects.
