HIGHLIGHTS Community safety and access to food and basic services in Gaza are under increasing strain as the expansion of areas under Israeli control causes further displacement and disruptions in humanitarian assistance. The UN Humanitarian Country Team has warned of the intensifying risks such expansion poses to civilians. Escalating humanitarian pressures in the West Bank have displaced over 3,200 Palestinians in 2026. WFP has provided food vouchers and cash assistance to 286,228 vulnerable people affected by settler violence, military operations, displacement and ongoing socioeconomic shocks. The entry of WFP commodities into Gaza, particularly ration boxes, was significantly reduced during the reporting period due to a non-operational cargo scanner at Ashdod Port from 16 June to 1 July, adding to the challenges created by the closure of Zikim since 24 May.

Democratic Republic of the Congo Ebola outbreak update As of 11 July, national health authorities had reported 1,926 confirmed cases across Ituri, North Kivu, South Kivu, Haut-Uele and Tshopo provinces. Ituri Province remains the epicentre of the outbreak, accounting for 90.9 per cent of confirmed cases and 86.2 per cent of all reported deaths. Meanwhile, South Kivu Province officially reached 42 consecutive days without a new confirmed case on 7 July, marking the end of the enhanced surveillance period and paving the way for the official declaration of the end of the outbreak in the province. Despite ongoing response efforts, major challenges persist, including lack of community trust, insecurity, funding shortfalls, limited treatment capacity and gaps in contact tracing, all of which continue to hamper outbreak containment. Central African Republic Humanitarian situation remains critical in Am-Dafock following clashes A rapid assessment conducted on 2 July found that at least 11,000 people displaced by clashes on 30 June in Am-Dafock are sheltering near the MINUSCA base under volatile security conditions. Priority needs include protection, health care and access to safe drinking water. The town’s only health facility has been looted and occupied by armed elements, while the only accessible water source is insufficient. Insecurity continues to severely restrict movement. On 4 July, a MINUSCA helicopter delivered 425 tarpaulins provided by humanitarian partners, but major logistical constraints persist. Around 24 tons of humanitarian cargo remain stranded, with at least 12 additional helicopter rotations required to transport relief supplies, delaying the scale-up of life-saving assistance. Meanwhile, around 1,000 newly displaced people have arrived in Birao, adding pressure to a town already hosting some 25,000 Sudanese refugees. Cameroon Cholera outbreak continues to expand in the Far North region As of 9 July, Cameroon had recorded 331 cholera cases and 12 deaths across four health districts in the Far North region. The outbreak is confirmed in Mada and Makary, with suspected transmission in Fotokol and Kolofata, Kousseri and Maroua 2, and is linked to a wider regional epidemic affecting the Central African Republic, Chad, and Nigeria. Children are disproportionately affected, with a median age of 9 years, while about 60 per cent of patients present with severe illness. Response efforts continue to face insecurity, access constraints, limited logistics capacity, shortages of case management supplies, and heavy rains. Nearly one million displaced people living in the region further increase transmission risks. The Government, supported by humanitarian partners, continues to strengthen coordination, case management, and outbreak response. Chad Multisectoral assessment confirms critical needs among newly displaced people An OCHA-led multisectoral assessment conducted on 9–10 July in Fouli and Kaya departments, Lac Province, identified severe humanitarian needs across seven displacement sites and at least 16 affected localities. Priority needs include food or cash assistance, water, sanitation and cholera prevention, emergency shelter, health and nutrition services, sexual and reproductive health, protection, civil documentation and education. Protection concerns remain acute, particularly due to the widespread lack of identity documents, separated and unaccompanied children, and heightened risks facing pregnant women, older people and people with disabilities. While humanitarian partners are assisting previously displaced people, support for newly displaced people remains limited. Clarifying partner presence and coverage is needed to address critical gaps and avoid duplication of assistance.

République Démocratique du Congo Point de situation sur l’épidémie d’Ebola Au 11 juillet, les autorités sanitaires nationales avaient signalé 1 926 cas confirmés dans les provinces de l’Ituri, du Nord-Kivu, du Sud-Kivu, du Haut-Uele et de la Tshopo. La province de l’Ituri demeure l’épicentre de l’épidémie, concentrant 90,9 % des cas confirmés et 86,2 % des décès enregistrés. Par ailleurs, le 7 juillet, la province du Sud-Kivu a atteint 42 jours consécutifs sans nouveau cas confirmé, marquant la fin de la période de surveillance renforcée et ouvrant la voie à la déclaration officielle de la fin de l’épidémie dans la province. Malgré les efforts de riposte en cours, d’importants défis persistent, notamment le manque de confiance des communautés, l’insécurité, le déficit de financement, les capacités limitées de prise en charge et les lacunes dans le suivi des contacts, qui continuent d’entraver l’endiguement de l’épidémie. Tchad Une évaluation multisectorielle met en évidence des besoins critiques parmi les personnes nouvellement déplacées Une évaluation multisectorielle dirigée par OCHA, menée les 9 et 10 juillet dans les départements de Fouli et Kaya (province du Lac), a mis en évidence d’importants besoins humanitaires dans sept sites de déplacement et 16 localités affectées. Les priorités concernent l’assistance alimentaire ou en espèces, l’eau, l’assainissement, la prévention du choléra, les abris d’urgence, la santé, la nutrition, la protection et l’éducation. Les préoccupations en matière de protection demeurent particulièrement préoccupantes, notamment en raison de l’absence généralisée de documents d’identité, du nombre d’enfants séparés ou non accompagnés, ainsi que des risques accrus auxquels sont confrontés les femmes enceintes, les personnes âgées et les personnes vivant avec un handicap. Si les partenaires humanitaires apportent déjà une assistance aux personnes déplacées de longue date, le soutien aux personnes nouvellement déplacées reste limité. Une meilleure clarification de la présence et de la couverture des partenaires est nécessaire afin de combler les lacunes et d’éviter les chevauchements dans l’assistance. Cameroun L’épidémie de choléra continue de s’étendre dans la région de l’Extrême-Nord Au 9 juillet, le Cameroun avait enregistré 331 cas de choléra et 12 décès dans quatre districts de santé de la région de l’Extrême-Nord. L’épidémie est confirmée dans les districts de Mada et Makary, avec une transmission suspectée à Fotokol, Kolofata, Kousseri et Maroua II. Elle s’inscrit dans une épidémie régionale plus large touchant également la République centrafricaine, le Tchad et le Nigéria. Les enfants sont particulièrement touchés, avec un âge médian de 9 ans, tandis qu’environ 60 % des patients présentent une forme grave de la maladie. La riposte continue de faire face à de nombreux défis, notamment l’insécurité, les contraintes d’accès, les capacités logistiques limitées, les pénuries de matériel pour la prise en charge des cas et les fortes pluies. La présence de près d’un million de personnes déplacées dans la région accroît encore les risques de transmission. Avec l’appui des partenaires humanitaires, le Gouvernement poursuit le renforcement de la coordination, de la prise en charge des cas et de la réponse à l’épidémie. République centrafricaine La situation humanitaire demeure critique à Am-Dafock après les affrontements Une évaluation rapide menée le 2 juillet a révélé qu’au moins 11 000 personnes déplacées par les affrontements du 30 juin à Am-Dafock sont réfugiées près de la base de la MINUSCA. Les besoins prioritaires concernent la protection, les soins de santé et l’accès à l’eau potable. Le seul centre de santé de la ville a été pillé et est occupé par des éléments armés, tandis que l’unique source d’eau accessible est insuffisante. L’insécurité continue de restreindre fortement les déplacements. Le 4 juillet, un hélicoptère de la MINUSCA a acheminé 425 bâches fournies par les partenaires humanitaires, mais 24 tonnes de secours restent bloquées et 12 rotations supplémentaires sont nécessaires pour acheminer l’aide. Par ailleurs, environ 1 000 personnes nouvellement déplacées sont arrivées à Birao, accentuant la pression sur une ville qui accueille déjà près de 25 000 réfugiés soudanais.

Global Market Updates In June 2026, global food commodity prices showed mixed trends, with the FAO Food Price Index averaging 130.3 points, down 0.3% from May but 1.7% higher than a year earlier, as declines in cereals, dairy, and sugar prices, driven by strong supplies and improved production prospects, offset gains in vegetable oils and meat. Vegetable oil prices increased due to tighter palm oil supplies and strong biofuel demand, while meat prices reached a record high, supported by higher poultry and bovine meat prices. Similarly, the International Grain Council’s Grains and Oilseeds Index fell 1.4% month-on-month to 224.2 but remained 5.8% above its year-earlier level, reflecting short-term market weakness amid generally stronger annual prices. Rice prices rose the most, both monthly and annually, while barley recorded the largest monthly decline. Wheat and maize prices also eased during the month but stayed above year-ago levels, and soybeans posted the strongest annual increase among oilseeds despite a slight monthly dip. Global fertilizer markets are showing signs of easing after a period of sharp increases, supported by the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz for just short period: lower freight costs and increased urea exports from Iran and China have driven urea prices down despite remaining above year-ago levels. Since the agreement, around 640,000 metric tons of sulphur and 427,000 metric tons of urea have moved through the waterway, a significant increase compared with volumes shipped during the conflict. The resumption of trade has eased concerns over a potential global food price crisis that could have resulted from fertilizer shortages and reduced crop yields. However, analysts caution that recovery remains slow, with fertilizer markets expected to remain tight in the near term despite the gradual improvement in maritime flows. Consequently, significant uncertainty persists due to geopolitical risks evidenced by the collapse of the ceasefire after few days, policy shifts, production costs, and climate-related disruptions. At the end of June, phosphate fertilizer prices remained high, with DAP declining slightly to US$910/MT and MAP edging up to US$954/MT, both posting strong year-on-year gains of over 12%, while potash remained stable at US$494/MT; in contrast, urea fell sharply by 12.5% month-on-month to US$720/MT after peaking in April, though it remained nearly 10% higher than a year earlier. Across Africa, fertilizer affordability remains a major concern, particularly in East and Southern Africa, where countries such as Uganda, Rwanda, Malawi, and Mozambique have recorded steep increases in DAP, NPK, and urea prices, reflecting tight market conditions. In contrast, fertilizer markets in West Africa have been relatively stable, with modest price movements in Nigeria and unchanged prices in Ghana. Overall, the continued price volatility highlights the importance of expanding regional fertilizer production, strengthening intra-African trade, and improving market coordination to enhance resilience and reduce import dependence. A strong El Niño is expected to persist through late 2026 and early 2027, posing significant risks to agriculture, food security, and livelihoods across Africa. Eastern and Southern Africa are likely to experience below-average rainfall, higher temperatures, drought, and water shortages, while parts of the Horn of Africa face an increased risk of flooding and severe storms. Countries most vulnerable include Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, and Cameroon. The resulting impacts could include reduced crop yields, livestock losses, food price inflation, water stress, pest and disease outbreaks, and increased humanitarian needs, particularly among smallholder farmers and vulnerable communities. As climate shocks intensify, millions of people could face heightened food insecurity, displacement, and livelihood disruptions, underscoring the need for early preparedness and resilience-building measures. Food Commodity Prices Updates Eastern Africa staple food markets generally eased in June 2026 as harvest arrivals improved food availability across the region. Maize prices fell sharply in Ethiopia (-32.9% month-on-month), Tanzania (-13.3%), Uganda (-4.3%), Kenya (-1.0%), and Rwanda (-1.6%), while South Sudan remained under pressure with prices rising by 4.3% month-on-month and 34.9% year-on-year. Rice markets were relatively stable, with declines in Tanzania (-5.4%) and Rwanda (-2.6%) offset by modest increases elsewhere, although Rwanda’s rice prices remained 32.5% above year-earlier levels. Bean prices declined in Kenya (-3.1% to -3.4%) and Rwanda (-3.1%), remained unchanged in Tanzania, but surged by 16.8% in Uganda despite staying 4.2% below last year’s levels. Wheat prices dropped significantly in Ethiopia (-17.3%) following improved Belg harvest supplies, while Kenya remained stable (-0.1%), underscoring broad regional market easing except in South Sudan, where inflationary and supply constraints persisted. Southern Africa’s staple food markets showed mixed trends in June 2026, reflecting uneven supply conditions across the region. Maize prices declined significantly in Malawi (-7.9% month-on-month) and Zambia (-12.5%) due to improved harvests and increased market supplies, while Mozambique recorded a sharp increase (+44.2%), indicating tightening availability and localized market disruptions. Rice prices generally eased, led by Mozambique (-15.7%), with smaller declines in Malawi (-4.8%) and Zambia (-1.8%). Bean prices were mixed, rising in Mozambique (+9.4%) and Malawi (+6.0%) but declining in Zambia (-3.9%), suggesting varying supply dynamics. Overall, annual price trends remained downward, particularly for maize in Zambia (-53.4% year-on-year), supported by above-average regional cereal production, including a record maize harvest in Zambia and strong output in South Africa, although potential El Niño-related risks to the 2026/27 season, warrants close monitoring. West Africa’s staple food markets were generally stable in June 2026, supported by improved food availability and adequate market supplies. Maize prices declined across most countries, with Ghana recording the sharpest annual drop (-57% year-on-year), while Nigeria was the only major market to register a notable monthly increase (+8.3%) due to tightening supplies, high transport costs, and insecurity. Rice prices remained broadly stable, with modest increases in Ghana and Nigeria and declines in Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, and Togo (-7%). Millet and sorghum prices were generally lower than a year earlier, although localized increases in Niger and Nigeria pointed to emerging supply pressures. Overall, staple food prices remained well below 2025 levels, while favorable growing conditions supported cereal development despite delayed rainfall and persistent insecurity in parts
