Operational Updates
• In the wake of the recent escalation in Iran, WFP remained firmly committed to those it supports. Operations in Iran continued without disruption, with field teams ensuring uninterrupted and safe delivery of food assistance to the most vulnerable refugees in settlements. This sustained presence amid heightened tensions underscores WFP’s operational resilience, strong local partnerships, and decades of experience operating in complex and volatile contexts.
• In June, WFP provided general food assistance to 33,292 Afghan and Iraqi refugees (7,348 households), through a hybrid combination of in-kind food and cash-based transfers (CBT).
o Under the in-kind food assistance, WFP distributed 380 mt of fortified food, consisting of wheat flour (12 kg per person) and vegetable oil (810 ml per person).
o Under the CBT, WFP continued to provide increased cash transfers to better support essential living costs. Since January 2025, the transfer has doubled to IRR 5 million (USD 7.2) to men-headed households and to IRR 6 million (USD 8.7) for women-headed households.
o WFP supported 388 refugees with disabilities across ten settlements, each receiving an additional monthly cash support of IRR 3 million (USD 4.3), on top of the regular assistance. Assistance, initially launched in two refugee settlements across two provinces, is currently expanded to cover Kerman, Lorestan, West Azerbaijan, Fars, Khuzestan, Markazi, Khorasan Razavi, and Semnan provinces.
o WFP’s monthly cash assistance continued to support 52 refugee celiac patients with specific dietary needs, providing them with an extra cash amount of IRR 9.7 million (USD 14.13 per person), to complement their food entitlement.
