The United Nations has unveiled a scaled-back global humanitarian appeal seeking $29 billion to urgently assist 114 million people facing life-threatening conditions globally.
The move comes as the international humanitarian sector reels from its deepest funding cuts in history, forcing aid agencies to make hard choices about who gets help and who does not.
The new appeal was presented by the UN’s Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, Tom Fletcher, as a “hyper-prioritized” response to the worsening global funding gap.
