A significant increase in assistance was seen in the second quarter of 2026. Nearly 4.6 million people received support, a rise from the previous quarter. The majority of this aid went to four countries, where ongoing crises have created high humanitarian needs.
Flexible cash played a crucial role in addressing both immediate and long-term needs. National organizations were heavily involved in implementing these programs, making up almost half of the groups providing assistance. The main method of delivering aid was by putting cash directly in the hands of those in need.
