Operational Updates
General Food Assistance WFP provided e-vouchers to over 4,940 residents (1,299 households) in the Al-Amal Rehabilitation Centre (formerly Jed'ah 1 Centre) in Ninewa Governorate. In addition, WFP provided cash assistance to over 6,353 individuals (1,279 households) without civil documentation in Baghdad, Salah Al-Din, Kirkuk, Ninawa, Diyala, and Babel Governorates.
Urgent funding is required for WFP's General Food Assistance (GFA) programme. Without additional support, the assistance will be forced to end in August 2025. WFP's shift from humanitarian to development assistance requires multi-year and flexible funding for a full transition bringing sustainable impact.
The current Country Strategic Plan (CSP) has been extended in time to allow for necessary adjustments, allowing time to considering implications of funding forecast on activities and working towards increased investment/ownership from the Government of Iraq. New CSP will be presented at the Executive Board in February 2026.
On 28 May 2025, a European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO) donor delegation visited a direct cash distribution site in Mosul, Ninewa Governorate. The delegation observed the cash distribution process firsthand and engaged in a focus group discussion (FGD), which offered insights into the assistance's impact and the beneficiaries' experiences.
