These Phases Laid The Groundwork For Long-Term Recovery By Addressing Both Immediate Humanitarian Needs And Building The Resilience Of Affected Households. At The Same Time, Maps In Partnership With Johanniter, Implemented A Comprehensive, Two-Phased Intervention To Address The Urgent Humanitarian Needs, Stabilize Affected Communities, And Foster Long-Term Resilience. With Bahar: Activities Under Phase I And Ii Included Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance (Mpca), Provided In Two Disbursement Rounds To 1,000 Earthquake-Affected And Economically Vulnerable Households, Directly Impacted By The Earthquake And Experiencing Acute Economic Hardship. This Assistance Helped People We Work With Meet Basic Needs Such As Food, Shelter, Clothing, And Healthcare, While Also Contributing To The Stabilization Of Household Economies And Preventing Further Deterioration Of Living Conditions.
