Important Update on Cash Assistance for Refugees and Asylum Seekers

    Due to limited funding at the global level, UNHCR operations in Syria including the Multi-Purpose Cash Grant (MPCG) programme, has been affected. This means that assistance cannot continue for  everyone who received financial assistance last year.

    In 2026 the MPCG will be focusing on families and individuals who are most vulnerable.

    UNHCR and its partners remain committed to supporting refugees and asylum-seekers and UNHCR continues to seek additional resources to assist those most in need.

    We encourage everyone to rely only on UNHCR’s official channels, as unverified information and rumors may circulate. For any questions, please contact UNHCR through the usual channels.

    For more information, please check out the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on MPCG Assistance Reduction by refugees and asylum seekers in Syria

    Important: All UNHCR services are free of charge.
