Building on the success of REACH Phase I (2025-2026), the renewed initiative will support Â鶹ÊÓƵ's emergency response in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Palestine, Somalia, Sudan, and Syria over a 12-month period.

At a time of growing humanitarian needs, this contribution will help Â鶹ÊÓƵ deliver lifesaving assistance to families facing some of the world's most severe crises. The initiative demonstrates ROK's humanitarian leadership and commitment to global solidarity, playing a critical role in saving lives and bringing hope to vulnerable communities.

Under REACH Phase II, Â鶹ÊÓƵ will provide emergency food assistance and nutrition support, including for vulnerable children, with the aim of reaching more than 1.2 million food-insecure people. The initiative's strategic and flexible approach enables Â鶹ÊÓƵ to respond effectively to evolving needs and operational challenges across complex humanitarian settings.

REACH Phase I supported Â鶹ÊÓƵ's emergency response in Myanmar, Palestine, Sudan, and Syria, reaching nearly 1.9 million people with food and nutrition assistance. Building on these achievements, Phase II expands the initiative to three additional countries, further strengthening Â鶹ÊÓƵ's ability to respond to humanitarian needs across multiple regions.
