Country: Iran (Islamic Republic of) Source: World Food Programme Please refer to the attached file. IN NUMBERS 650,000 displaced people assisted in Lebanon with food and cash to date. 125,274 displaced people received date bars at Syria crossings. 33,820 refugees in settlement supported with food and cash assistance in Iran. KEY HIGHLIGHTS As the Strait of Hormuz crisis deepens amid persistent uncertainty, regional escalation continues to disrupt food systems, trade routes and humanitarian access, with rising fuel and food prices reinforcing each other across the region, further constraining access to food in crisis‑affected settings and undermining vulnerable households’ access to basic needs. In Iran, WFP assistance supports more than 33,000 refugees across 20 settlements while inflation, and pressure on household food affordability continue to intensify. In Lebanon, WFP is sustaining emergency assistance while needs remain severe despite the ceasefire, with continued insecurity, renewed displacement, pressure on host communities, and nearly a quarter of the population facing acute food insecurity. The G2G Jordan–Lebanon humanitarian corridor is strengthening WFP’s cross‑border deliveries under severe access constraints, enabling the continued movement of critical food supplies and reinforcing the continuity of the emergency response.
