São Paulo – The United Nations (UN) said this Monday (5) it will require USD 22.2 billion to fund humanitarian aid actions targeting 93 million people in 2017. The figure, an all-time high, is from the Global Humanitarian Report released in Geneva by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). <\/p>\n
The scale of the humanitarian crisis is the biggest “since the founding of the United Nations,” a press release quoted UN undersecretary general for Humanitarian Affairs Stephen O´Brien as saying. Never did so many people need “support and solidarity in order to survive and live in safety and dignity,” he added. <\/p>\n
OCHA’s humanitarian response plan outlines actions in 33 different countries. Conflicts in Syria, Yemen, South Sudan and Nigeria are the primary sources of humanitarian aid needs, since they provoke cross-border displacements.<\/p>\n
