A severe and protracted crisis is ongoing, with nearly half of the population requiring humanitarian assistance. Some 21.9 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.
