The economic challenges compounded the humanitarian crisis in 2025, with inflation in food and fuel prices, and fragile public services, pushing families into negative coping mechanisms such as selling their properties to support loved ones or gain access to essential and adequate healthcare. According to Food Security and Agriculture Cluster (FSAC) report, by the end of 2025, 18.1 million people were in IPC Phase 3 or worse, with acute malnutrition among children under five remaining alarmingly high.
Amid these challenges, the ICRC’s Economic Security programs provided vital assistance to over 1.5 million people nationwide. The programs delivered cash assistance, food rations, and essential household items, while also supporting livelihood diversification through initiatives like empowering beekeeping centers and veterinary projects. A large-scale livestock vaccination campaign preserved rural livelihoods, with 4.9 million animals vaccinated over 2025. These projects enhanced resilience and strengthened livelihood systems, offering a lifeline to millions of vulnerable people and supporting sustainable recovery efforts.
