Malawi: Funding Shortages Force WFP to Prioritise Food Assistance for Refugees in Malawi

Dzaleka refugee camp hosts more than 65,000 refugees. Since 2022, WFP has provided refugees with assistance covering up to 75 percent of their food needs, but this level of support can no longer be sustained. Based on a vulnerability assessment, WFP plans to provide 35,000 of the most vulnerable refugees in Dzaleka with monthly cash assistance valued at USD 8 per person, covering 50 percent of their food needs.
