Humanitarian needs remain acute due to ongoing uncertainty. Entire cities and villages have been largely destroyed and remain inaccessible after intense fighting and massive destruction. As of August 26, 2026, more than 334,000 people remained displaced, unable to return due to insecurity, damage, and limited access to essential services.

The International Committee of the Red Cross is intensifying its efforts to respond to the immediate needs of the affected population, while also supporting the restoration of services and livelihoods to help communities recover and return home. Further information on the situation and the response efforts is available from the source.
