Highlights
•According to the 2025 Syria Food Security Assessment, 18 percent of households are food secure, up from 11 percent in 2024. This gain of more than seven percentage points in a single year is notable but fragile, with further progress hinging on political stability, sustained investment in recovery and resilience, and stronger national institutions.
•National improvements were driven by higher remittances, lower tariffs, wage increases, and easing food inflation, which together strengthened purchasing power and access to food. At the same time, persistent insecurity, the 2025 drought, and weak livelihoods continue to undermine food security in parts of the country, particularly in Al-Hasakeh, Raqqa, and As-Suwayda, with camps and vulnerable groups remaining most at risk.
•Given the scale of the needs and the time required for development efforts to take hold, WFP continues to deliver emergency and regular food assistance, while increasingly prioritizing early recovery and resilience initiatives. In 2025, WFP reached 7.3 million across Syria and remains ready to scale-up operations as funding permits.
Over the next six months, WFP requires USD 160 million to sustain operations and prevent assistance cuts.
