ملخص
Iran continued to be one of the countries hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic in the MENA region during 2021. Amid all these challenges, WFP successfully assisted around 30,600 refugees with monthly cash assistance at a double transfer value to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 and the economic downturn. The food distribution of three commodities (wheat flour, vegetable oil and lentils) was completed without any interruption for the same beneficiaries living in 20 settlements, ensuring their food security. Besides, monthly cash was transferred to almost 3,000 refugee girl students as education incentives and school feeding items were provided to 7,700 schoolchildren and 600 teachers with the aim of improving their education and nutrition status. Around 400 women and men benefited from livelihoods-strengthening and income-generation opportunities. WFP also provided family food rations to close to 13,700 Iranians (versus planned 8,000) who were affected by drought to allow them to cover one month of their food requirement. The new influx from Afghanistan added to the severity of the response to meet refugees emerging needs. WFP took the initiative of prepositioning ready-to-eat (RTE) food rations for an estimated 20,000 new arrivals at the borders as well as dry food rations for an estimated 10,000 arrivals who might stay longer. In total, 94 mt of RTE and 496 mt of dry food rations were provided for the new refugee influx in consultation with the Bureau for Aliens and Foreign Immigrants’ Affairs (BAFIA); and in coordination with other agencies and INGOs to avoid duplication of assistance and ensure better targeting within the Food Security Sector led by WFP.
