General Food Assistance

• In June 2025, WFP concluded its food assistance to over 38,000 Syrian refugees across nine camps, following the final cash distribution, due to funding shortfalls. WFP informed refugees via SMS messages, camp management, and community consultations. Urgent funding is needed to resume food assistance for refugees beyond June 2025 and sustain assistance for Al-Amal residents beyond December 2025.
• WFP provided e-vouchers to over 6,000 resident beneficiaries (1,705 households) in the Al-Amal Rehabilitation Centre (formerly Jed'ah 1 Centre) in Ninewa Governorate. In addition, WFP provided cash assistance to over 8,000 individuals (1,791 households) without civil documentation in Baghdad, Salah Al-Din, Kirkuk, Ninawa, Diyala, and Babel Governorates.
• On 25 June 2025, WFP participated in a UN mission to AlAmal Rehabilitation Centre in Ninewa Governorate. The delegation was led by the Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General (DSRSG) and UN Resident Coordinator, Mr. Ghulam Mohammad Isaczai.
