WFP ResponseWFP continued to adjust its programmes to meet the most urgent needs of the population. General food assistance continued with COVID-19 mitigation measures in place. After several months of suspension, livelihoods activities have started to resume through ‘food assistance-for-training’ and ‘food assistance-for-assets’ activities for vulnerable host communities and Syrian refugees in the five countries. The sizable learning from WFP’s humanitarian experience and innovation in building effective targeting and delivery mechanisms, particularly for CBTs assistance within the sub-region, has been leveraged in support of national social protection systems.

Donors

Lebanon: WFP assisted a total of 1,011,520 beneficiaries through cash-based transfer modalities amounting to USD 26.4 million and through distribution of family food parcels as part of the COVID-19 and economic crisis response. The people assisted were 169,799 vulnerable Lebanese, 820,277 Syrian refugees and 21,444 refugees of other nationalities.

Jordan: To address increasing vulnerabilities due to COVID-19, WFP expanded its coverage in October to include an additional 350 refugees under its food assistance programme, now reaching around 15,350 refugees (5,400 households). In Za’atari and Azraq camps, WFP has so far provided in-kind food assistance to over 1,400 households in quarantine with the increasing number of COVID-19 cases.

Unconditional Resource Transfers Egypt: WFP extended the redemption period of general food assistance in the form of cash-based transfers for about 108,000 refugees. The assisted refugees come from nine different countries in the Middle East and North Africa.

Iraq: WFP targeted 242,174 IDPs and 69,156 refugees; and 46,044 returnees and people from vulnerable communities through Food for Assets (FFA), Urban Livelihoods and EMPACT programmes, with cash and food assistance in 12 governorates.

Turkey: WFP continues to support refugees in six camps, through a monthly e-voucher payment of TRY 100 (USD 14) per person. The assistance reached 53,167 people in October.

Situation UpdatesAt the end of October, the sub-region registered 1.1 million COVID-19 cases. Jordan saw an 83 percent increase in COVID-19 cases in October, reaching a total of 69,306 cases, while Lebanon saw an increase of 50 percent, reaching 79,529 cases. The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in refugee and IDP camps has continued, leading to movement restrictions and further disruption of the livelihoods of the vulnerable populations living in the crowded camps.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced on 9 October that it had decided to award the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize to WFP for its “efforts to combat hunger” and its “contribution to bettering conditions for peace in conflict-affected areas.” The committee highlighted that providing assistance to increase food security goes beyond than just ending hunger, but also contributes to promoting stability and peace, adding that “the world is in danger of experiencing a hunger crisis of inconceivable proportions if the World Food Programme and other food assistance organisations do not receive the financial support they have requested.” This prize is also a recognition of the hard efforts of all the employees striving to end hunger worldwide, among them Ban, who used to be a beneficiary of WFP food assistance herself. Ban joined WFP in 2015 as a field monitor in Iraq and she is now involved in programmes supporting Syrian refugees, IDPs, returnees and host communities. She has been selected as one of eight WFP staff that will make up the delegation representing WFP which will officially receive the Nobel Peace Prize in December.

School Feeding

Lebanon: The school feeding programme is set to kick-off around mid-November with family parcel distributions until the end of the year and until students go back to being physically present in schools. 19 new schools (12,000 new students) were added to the school snacks program for the 2020-2021 school year.

Jordan: WFP continued its school feeding activities in early October before schools closed due to a full lockdown. WFP distributed date bars and healthy meals to around 24,000 students attending formal schools in camps and communities.

Asset Creation and LivelihoodsTurkey: Under the cash-for-training component of the Mutfakta Umut Var (MUV)/Kitchen of Hope project, 95 participants from the first training cohort completed on-the-job training. Of those, 23 participants started formal employment at the restaurants or soup kitchens.

Jordan: WFP continued to work with the Ministry of Agriculture on forestry and seedling activities targeting more than 200 beneficiaries (70 percent Jordanian, 30 percent Syrian refugee) who will receive monthly cash assistance to help them meet their food needs.
