According to the World Food Programme's Middle East Regional Escalation Emergency Response report, WFP support in Iran remains uninterrupted, reaching 33,424 refugees across 20 settlements, with plans to assist more as referred by authorities to address evolving needs.
In Lebanon, despite worsening security conditions, the Logistics Cluster and WFP have facilitated 12 convoys, helping approximately 59,900 individuals in hard-to-reach areas.
In Syria, WFP distributed date bars to over 112,000 people crossing through the Jousieh and Jdeidet Yabous border points amid persistent displacement pressures.
The report highlights that nearly two months into the Middle East escalation, ongoing supply chain disruptions, port congestion, and transport delays continue to increase delivery costs and timelines for essential commodities like food, energy, and fertilizers, straining humanitarian operations and impacting vulnerable populations regionally and beyond.
Ensuring safe and reliable humanitarian access through effective deconfliction is emphasized as urgent to meet growing humanitarian needs.
