WFP Syria Emergency Response - External Situation Report - 31 August 2025

Highlights

  • Despite immense challenges, Syria’s path from crisis to recovery remains within reach. Achieving peace and resilience depends on sustained humanitarian support that restores food security and livelihoods, empowering millions to rebuild their lives with hope and dignity.
  • WFP has the capacity, footprint, and access to help Syrian communities recover through highly prioritized emergency and resilience interventions, focused on the most severely food insecure. Each month, WFP supports 3.5 million people across Syria – 1.2 million receiving targeted emergency food assistance, 2 million accessing fortified bread at subsidized price, and the remainder through school meals and nutrition activities. WFP stands ready to scale up operations as funding permits.
  • WFP urgently requires USD 84 million over the next six months to sustain all its activities. Without additional funding secured by December, WFP will be forced to reduce assistance across all programmes in January 2026, including suspending support for more than 2 million people who rely on daily subsidized bread. This would deepen hunger, fuel social tensions, destabilize fragile return areas, and undermine recovery efforts.
