A severe and protracted crisis is ongoing, with nearly half of the population requiring humanitarian assistance. 9 million people need aid to meet their basic needs. Humanitarian aid has been the primary source of international support since 2021, due to the near-total suspension of development assistance.

INTERSOS has released a Position Paper on this issue, calling for a shift in international engagement. The organization urges donors and governments to combine life-saving assistance with targeted development support. Further details on this crisis and the call for development assistance are available from INTERSOS, which has published its position on the matter in a recent paper.
