WFP Crisis Response
- WFP Crisis Response WFP continues its emergency response efforts supporting approximately 150,000 refugees and crisis-affected populations, including Sudanese newcomers, with monthly cash assistance in Cairo, Alexandria, Aswan and other cities. WFP’s cash assistance platform was also made available to facilitate the delivery of assistance from UN sister agencies like UNFPA.
- WFP conducted a Sudanese Vulnerability Assessment from March to May 2024 to evaluate the food security and needs of Sudanese who entered Egypt after the crisis. Findings show that about 65 percent of the households receiving WFP assistance are food insecure. Access to education and healthcare were also pressing challenges. Accordingly, WFP will refine its targeting methods and scale up its cash assistance to reach more vulnerable Sudanese newcomers.
- WFP is distributing daily ready-to-eat (RTE) food rations to displaced populations from Sudan upon their arrival in Egypt at both border crossings, Argeen and Qustol, and at key transit points. Approximately 21,198 RTEs were distributed for the month of June 2024 to 7,066 individuals.
