I watched a documentary about the ICRC. They asked sellers to come to a village somewhere in Congo and gave the villagers coupons so that they could buy what they needed the most and exchanged the coupons for money. They created something like a temporary UBI for a village and a market for different needs. A family bought mattresses, another family corrugated sheets, another clothes, and so on.

If you give people basic items for free this will go bad. You know the horror stories in development aid how people sell away the stuff they got for free.
