Countries: South Sudan, Sudan Source: UN Children's Fund Please refer to the attached file. Highlights Humanitarian needs remained acute in July as conflict, displacement, food insecurity, climate shocks and continued arrivals from Sudan affected vulnerable populations. Between January and July, 444,556 people were newly displaced, while more than 13,400 refugees and returnees arrived during the month. ฉholera remained the largest public health emergency, despite a significant decline in transmission. By the end of July, 109,908 cumulative cases and 1,720 deaths had been reported. Mpox, measles and cVDPV1 outbreaks continued to strain health services. Acute malnutrition and access constraints remained major concerns, with critical malnutrition levels in parts of Jonglei, Upper Nile and Unity, including 22.3 per cent GAM in Akobo West. Humanitarian access incidents were 51 per cent higher than during the same period in 2025. Funding shortfalls continued to constrain the response, with the 2026 HAC appeal only 44 percent funded. WASH and education remained the most underfunded sectors, leaving critical gaps in service delivery.

Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA) in Eastern Africa reached 4.6 million people with US$193.9 million across seven countries in the second quarter of 2026, up from 2.3 million people and US$87.3 million across five countries in the first quarter. Sudan, Ethiopia, South Sudan and Somalia accounted for 91 per cent of transfers, reflecting high humanitarian needs in protracted crises. Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance (MPCA) and Food Security and Livelihoods accounted for 90 per cent of transfers, highlighting the role of flexible cash in addressing immediate and broader needs. National NGOs comprised nearly half (46 per cent) of implementing organizations, advancing localization. Cash-in-hand remained the main delivery mechanism at 54 per cent, while bank transfers and mobile money each accounted for 19 per cent, highlighting the importance of reliable, accessible and context-appropriate payment systems. At the same time, insecurity and access constraints in Sudan and South Sudan, liquidity shortages in northern Ethiopia, and gaps in registration, interoperability and coordination continue to constrain the timely and effective delivery of assistance. As humanitarian needs remain high and resources increasingly constrained, maintaining the scale and effectiveness of CVA will depend on more flexible and predictable financing, stronger delivery systems and the ability to act earlier ahead of predictable shocks.

Countries: Morocco, Central African Republic, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea, Sudan, Syrian Arab Republic Source: UN High Commissioner for Refugees Please refer to the attached file. Operational Context Morocco has consolidated its role as a key country of asylum at the crossroads of Mediterranean and Atlantic migration routes, increasingly serving as a protection and inclusion space amid regional instability, including the conflict in Sudan and forced displacement in the Sahel. UNHCR works closely with the Government of Morocco to support the progressive strengthening of national asylum and protection frameworks within a growing and complex operational environment. As of 30 June 2026, UNHCR Morocco registered 23,615 persons, including 10,538 refugees and 13,077 asylum-seekers. Arrivals from Sudan have increased sharply since 2024, accounting for the majority of new registrations in 2025 and 2026 to date. Sudanese nationals represent 68% of all registrations in 2026, with an average of 233 individuals registered per month. Unaccompanied children accounted for one in nine newly registered individuals, highlighting heightened protection risks. UNHCR operates through a branch office in Rabat and five decentralized Protection Antennas established with its partner the Moroccan Organization for Human Rights (OMDH), providing access to registration, documentation, counselling and protection services across key regions, as sustained population growth continues to place pressure on protection systems. Morocco actively participated in the Global Refugee Forum (2023), making six pledges in key areas including health, education, socio-economic inclusion, data, and humanized border management, with refugee representatives from Morocco participating in both 2023 and 2025.

This report is a testament to what collective will and action can achieve even in the most challenging of times. The world today is shaped by converging crises. Conflict, climate shocks and economic hardship continue to erode the livelihoods of millions, pushing vulnerable communities further into the margins. It is against this backdrop that Islamic Relief’s Ramadan Food Assistance Programme carries its greatest meaning. This report documents our efforts to deliver essential food support across 35 countries, reaching nearly 955,000 individuals during the blessed month of Ramadan. Our purpose extended beyond alleviating immediate hunger. We were equally committed to offering our supporters a meaningful and dignified avenue through which to fulfil their religious obligation of giving, connecting the act of charity to real, visible impact in communities that needed it most. Our Ramadan food assistance distributions were carried out efficiently and on time, including in some of the world’s most demanding humanitarian environments such as Lebanon, Gaza and Sudan. None of the work presented in this report was accomplished without difficulty. Financial constraints were real and the scale of need on the ground grew more than ever. Yet, our country teams, local partners and volunteers responded effectively to the challenge with professionalism and dedication. This report does not claim to capture every effort or every act of service that took place. What it does reflect is the spirit of an organisation united in its commitment to uphold the dignity and wellbeing of those we serve. To every Islamic Relief family member, donor, partner, staff and volunteer who gave of their time, resources and energy, I offer my sincere and heartfelt gratitude. May Allah (SWT) accept this humble effort, bless all who contributed, and reward them in ways that no report could ever adequately measure.

ReliefWeb•Insecurity Insight11 SeptCountries: World, occupied Palestinian territory, Somalia, Sudan, Syrian Arab Republic Source: Government of Sweden Global humanitarian needs are at a historic high. Ongoing wars, protracted conflicts and recurring natural disasters have driven the number of people in need of aid to record levels. At the same time, the global humanitarian system is struggling with serious underfunding. Against this backdrop, the Government is presenting a humanitarian aid package today, totalling SEK 297 million for 2026. “Humanitarian needs are immense. The United Nations estimates that over 300 million people are in need of humanitarian aid, but due to the lack of funding, only a third can be reached by efforts. This means that millions of people risk being left without life-saving aid. For this reason, Sweden is providing almost SEK 300 million in support to help uphold human dignity in what are some of the world’s most severe situations,” says Minister for International Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade Benjamin Dousa. “Sweden is providing close to SEK 300 million to some of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. In Sudan for example, we are providing SEK 75 million to, among other things, food and water, to help the most vulnerable groups, and in Syria, we are providing SEK 50 million to address the most urgent needs,” says Gudrun Brunegård, development assistance policy spokesperson (Christian Democrats). A significant portion of the support, SEK 100 million, is provided as core support to the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR). Globally, the number of displaced people amounts to more than 122 million, the highest level ever Protracted conflicts and new crises continue to forcibly displace people from their homes. Core support is a flexible funding modality that makes it possible for organisations to swiftly target efforts where needs are most severe. In addition to this core support, aid is also being directed towards particularly vulnerable areas with major humanitarian needs. SEK 75 million is being channelled to the humanitarian response in Sudan. After several years of conflict, the situation there remains catastrophic. More than 33 million people, including 15 million children, need humanitarian aid and protection. A further SEK 50 million in humanitarian aid is going to Syria to meet acute needs and contribute to improving conditions for sustainable returns. SEK 27 million from previously adopted core support is being allocated to Ukraine, where the humanitarian needs remain extensive as a consequence of Russia’s full-scale invasion. The support will contribute to shelter, emergency aid and other life-saving initiatives, which will be particularly important as winter approaches. Lebanon, where the humanitarian situation remains very serious, is receiving support totalling SEK 20 million. There continues to be a substantial need for aid in the form of shelter, food, medical care, cash support and psychosocial assistance. In Somalia, millions of people risk being driven into acute famine, at a time when the El Niño weather phenomenon is expected to cause further hardship. The Government is therefore providing a further SEK 15 million in support to Somalia. The situation for Gaza’s civilian population remains very difficult, and children are among the groups hit hardest. The Government is therefore allocating SEK 10 million for the medical evacuation of children from Gaza to Jordan. “In these difficult times, the Government remains committed to its humanitarian engagement. Sweden’s support is helping to save lives, fight hunger and acute malnutrition, protect displaced people and provide support to the most vulnerable,” says Mr Dousa. How the Government is distributing the support SEK 100 million in core support is being allocated to the UNCHR, to strengthen the protection and support of refugees, internally displaced and stateless people, and to contribute to sustainable solutions. With this additional support, Sweden’s support to the UNHCR will total SEK 1 023 million for 2026. SEK 75 million to Sudan, with SEK 50 million allocated to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), SEK 20 million to the UNHCR, and SEK 5 million to Save the Children Sudan. The support is being allocated as part of the funds already approved for the WFP, UNHCR and Save the Children Sudan in 2026. SEK 50 million to Syria. The support comprises SEK 30 million to be allocated to the UNHCR, SEK 10 million to the WFP and SEK 10 million to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). The support is being allocated as part of the funds already approved for the UNHCR, WFP and the ICRC in 2026. SEK 27 million to Ukraine. The support comprises SEK 13 million to be allocated to the UNHCR, SEK 6 million to the WFP, SEK 4 million to the ICRC, and SEK 4 million to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). The support is being allocated as part of the funds already approved for the UNHCR, WFP, ICRC and the IFRC in 2026. SEK 20 million to Lebanon through the UNHCR to address the serious humanitarian situation in the country. SEK 15 million to Somalia through the WFP to contribute towards life-saving starvation relief operations and to strengthen preparedness for the humanitarian consequences of El Niño. The support is being allocated as part of the funds already approved for the WFP in 2026. SEK 10 million via Sida, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, to the World Health Organization office in Jordan to support the medical evacuations of children from Gaza to Jordan, which means that gravely ill and injured children can receive access to life-saving medical care. Funding for Sweden’s support comes from the development assistance budget.
