Despite this, prevention of acute malnutrition continued, reaching 38,593 children under 23 months and 32,159 pregnant and lactating women, with activities planned until the end of June. • Following cyclones Gezani in the northeast and Fytia in the northwest, in March, WFP’s cyclone emergency response reached over 160,000 people with multipurpose cash transfers to support recovery and strengthen food security in affected regions. • To sustain lean season distributions and scale up cyclone recovery assistance, WFP requires USD 28.4 million (April–September 2026), as current resources remain insufficient to meet escalating humanitarian needs.
