The Unhcr calculates that there are 43 million forcibly displaced and stateless people worldwide. The amount pledged is down from US$ 671.6 million donated a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>The Unhcr has reported that it will need US$ 6.23 billion to cater to these refugees next year. The agency added that the UN only covers a small portion of its budget, and that it relies on public and private donations for its programmes. <\/p>\n<p>The commitments announced this Tuesday, at the organization&rsquo;s annual conference, are considered preliminary and serve merely as indicators based on which for operations to be planned. To date in 2014, US$ 3.19 billion have been donated to the Unhcr &ndash; less than half the agency&rsquo;s actual needs.<\/p>\n<p>According to the UN agency, the sum is enough to cover basic&nbsp;refugee needs such as water, sanitation, health and temporary shelter, but falls short of funding long-term actions such as professional training, promotion of subsistence and secondary schooling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>*Translated by Gabriel Pomerancblum<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The sum meant to finance the UN agency\u2019s programmes in 2015 falls short of what was supplied by donors a year ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2316,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[106],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-49739","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-foreign-affairs"},"wps_subtitle":"The sum meant to finance the UN agency\u2019s programmes in 2015 falls short of what was supplied by donors a year ago.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49739","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2316"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49739"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49739\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49739"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49739"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49739"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
