UN Supports Government in Joint Multi-Sector Rapid Needs Assessment

Bringing together UN agencies and humanitarian partners, the assessment teams will work directly with internally displaced people (IDPs) and local authorities to identify urgent needs across shelter, water and sanitation, health, food security and nutrition, education, livelihoods, and protection. The findings will support the Royal Government of Cambodia and partners in prioritizing assistance, strengthening coordination, and ensuring timely, standards-based humanitarian support.

This assessment is part of the broader UN response to assist people in Cambodia affected by the conflict. Since July to date, more than 100,000 people across seven provinces have received support from HRF Partners, including the UN, covering areas such as water and sanitation, health, education, food, and shelter.

Furthermore, the UN has been working closely with the Government to support migrants returning from Thailand by improving employability and providing social services such as social protection. The UN is also analyzing the socio-economic impacts on IDPs and migrant returnees to develop a recovery plan addressing immediate and medium-term needs.
