The United Nations has announced a $100 million allocation to support ten critical humanitarian crises in Africa, the Americas, Asia, and the Middle East.
The largest portions of this funding will address urgent needs in Yemen ($20 million) and Ethiopia ($15 million), where severe hunger, displacement, disease outbreaks, and climate-related challenges are prevalent. Additional funds will be directed to Myanmar ($12 million), Mali ($11 million), Burkina Faso ($10 million), Haiti ($9 million), Cameroon ($7 million), Mozambique ($7 million), and El Niño-impacted Burundi ($5 million) and Malawi ($4 million).
An official from the UN’s humanitarian division highlighted the pressing need for greater and sustained donor support to effectively address these underfunded emergencies.
