Highlights
- While a political normalization process is under way and sanctions are being lifted, the economy remains fragile, sectarian tensions continue, and humanitarian and food security needs continue to be urgent. Food security is a cornerstone for national security. A stable Syria is essential for broader regional stability and security, and a prerequisite for the safe, voluntary and dignified return of Syrian refugees and internally displaced persons.
- WFP has the capacity, footprint, and access to help Syrian communities recover through a combination of humanitarian and resilience interventions. WFP reaches over 1.5 million people each month with targeted emergency food assistance, school meals, nutrition and livelihood interventions. As part of WFP’s efforts to strengthen social safety net systems in Syria, on 29 May WFP launched the subsidized bread programme, which will reach 2 million people in Syria’s most food insecure areas.
- WFP requires USD 296 million to implement its targeted emergency and recovery interventions in 2025; USD 100 million are needed by August to avoid a funding shortfall in September.
