Country: Iran (Islamic Republic of) Source: World Food Programme Please refer to the attached file. N NUMBERS 453,200 displaced people assisted in Lebanon with food and cash to date. 102,960 displaced people received date bars at Syria crossings. 33,500 refugees in settlement supported with food and cash assistance in Iran. KEY HIGHLIGHTS Escalating regional hostilities continue to restrict key humanitarian corridors, constraining logistical pipelines and humanitarian access, and placing vulnerable civilians and displaced people at heightened risk of food insecurity across the Middle East and beyond. WFP teams continue to operate around the clock to support displaced people across the region, drawing on robust emergency preparedness measures while maintaining operational agility through the use of alternative supply routes and rerouted corridors to sustain assistance despite access constraints. In Iran, WFP assistance continues uninterrupted, reaching 33,424 refugees across 20 settlements, including around 800 refugees newly relocated following the recent escalation. In Lebanon, despite deteriorating security conditions, the Logistics Cluster, with the support of WFP, has facilitated 10 convoys so far, assisting 47,400 affected people in hard-to-reach areas. Ensuring safe, reliable humanitarian access, including effective deconfliction, is urgent to respond effectively to growing humanitarian needs.

Country: Sudan Source: Qatar Charity Please refer to the attached files. Doha – April 16, 2026 With support from generous donors, Qatar Charity (QC) continues its humanitarian response to those affected by the prolonged conflict in Sudan, as the conflict entered its fourth year on 15 April 2026. Since April 2023, Qatar Charity has implemented and continues to deliver relief, health, and food assistance projects inside Sudan and for Sudanese refugees in neighboring countries. These interventions have reached more than one million beneficiaries, with a total cost of approximately QAR 98 million. Over the past three years, Qatar Charity has carried out 74 humanitarian projects and interventions inside and outside Sudan, either through its field teams or in partnership with international and local organizations. These efforts respond to what is now considered the world’s largest humanitarian crisis in terms of scale and complexity. Since the conflict’s onset, Qatar Charity has been a leading humanitarian responder, coordinating with Qatari authorities to dispatch aid flights and launch relief projects within Sudan and for refugees in neighboring countries. These initiatives seek to reduce suffering and strengthen the resilience of communities impacted by the continuous crisis. Interventions Inside Sudan Within Sudan, Qatar Charity has implemented 52 humanitarian projects across several conflict‑affected states, benefiting around 911,000 displaced and affected people, at a cost exceeding QAR 75 million. Food assistance accounted for the largest share, reaching more than 520,000 people to address worsening food insecurity. Comprehensive relief projects supported about 125,000 people, while health interventions provided medical services to over 127,000 beneficiaries, amid widespread disruption of health facilities. Shelter projects assisted around 16,000 people, alongside water, sanitation, and non‑food item interventions that helped improve living conditions and reduce health risks for tens of thousands of families. Supporting Sudanese Refugees In parallel, Qatar Charity expanded its support to Sudanese refugees in neighboring countries through 22 humanitarian projects, benefiting over 133,000 refugees, with a total cost of approximately QAR 22.7 million. These interventions included food assistance for nearly 62,000 refugees, shelter support for around 12,000 people, and health, water, sanitation, education, and multi‑sector relief services reaching more than 60,000 beneficiaries, helping ease pressure on host communities and improve refugees’ ability to cope with harsh displacement conditions. Deepening Humanitarian Crisis These efforts come as Sudan’s war enters its fourth year, leaving one of the world’s most severe humanitarian crises. According to UN and international sources, around 33.7 million people need urgent humanitarian assistance in 2026. About 8.9 million people are internally displaced, while more than 4.5 million have fled to neighboring countries. Over 21 million people face acute food insecurity, with famine reported in parts of Darfur and Kordofan. The conflict has also devastated the health system, with more than one‑third of health facilities out of service, alongside outbreaks of disease linked to malnutrition and poor water and sanitation, compounded by severe funding shortfalls limiting humanitarian response capacity. **End**
