Country: Iraq Source: World Food Programme Please refer to the attached file. IN NUMBERS 45,241 people assisted in February 2026 (53.6% female) 14,779 people assisted in March 2026 (58.7% female) USD 5.3M required in the next six months (April – September 2026) KEY HIGHLIGHTS Iraq continues to face severe climate impacts, including salinization, desertification, reduced river flows, and declining rainfall, that have degraded 12 million hectares of arable land. These pressures are undermining agricultural productivity and heightening food insecurity risks, particularly among vulnerable rural communities. Humanitarian funding shortfalls are impacting WFP’s ability to maintain assistance. In February, monthly cash support for Syrian refugees in nine camps was concluded due to limited resources, while available funding is being prioritized for vulnerable Iraqis. Continued donor engagement is critical to safeguard support for displaced populations and sustain resilience‑building initiatives.
