KEY HIGHLIGHTS

  • In March 2026, WFP suspended cash assistance for 100,000 refugees and crisis-affected people due to funding shortfalls - now supporting 150,000 out of the 250,000 targeted vulnerable beneficiaries with a reduced value of USD 9.54, covering only 20 percent of the Survival Minimum Expenditure Basket. WFP will soon be forced to completely suspend assistance if no further funding is received.
