N NUMBERS 650,000 displaced people assisted in Lebanon with food and cash to date. 125,274 displaced people received date bars at Syria crossings. 33,500 refugees in settlement supported with food and cash assistance in Iran. KEY HIGHLIGHTS The ripple effects of the Middle East continue to threaten millions of already food‑insecure people worldwide with further erosion of their access to nutritious food. As needs surge, WFP is accelerating efforts to scale up assistance, rebuild critically depleted stocks, and restore supply lines disrupted by weeks of sustained disruption. In Iran, WFP assistance continues uninterrupted, reaching 33,424 refugees across 20 settlements, with cash assistance arrangement underway to support additional refugees referred by the authorities. Lebanon’s situation is becoming increasingly alarming, with nearly a quarter of the population now facing acute food insecurity, particularly in the south, where conditions are deteriorating most sharply and vulnerabilities are rapidly intensifying. WFP continues to respond to the urgent needs of people affected by the ongoing conflict through food and cash assistance in shelters and communities along with convoys with the logistics cluster to hard-to-reach areas. Over the next four months, WFP urgently requires immediate and flexible funding of USD 44.1 million per month to sustain critical assistance for conflict‑affected people.
