Despite the newfound operational freedom granted by the interim government, aid organizations like Caritas Switzerland report an increasing number of people in need as millions return to a war-torn country with a struggling economy. Swiss authorities quickly released two million francs in emergency assistance, but long-term recovery plans are still lacking. The primary focus is on immediate humanitarian aid as fears grow regarding the future stability of the region.
