Refugees face assistance risk
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has warned that the worsening funding crisis could result in around 8.3 million refugees and internally displaced persons being deprived of aid this year, amid a 24% decline in funding between 2024 and 2025. The agency faces a funding gap of $5.789 billion, having received only 32% of its financial request for 2026, with the number of displaced persons expected to rise to 131.2 million by the end of the year. It emphasized that the lack of funds threatens the collapse of protection systems, increases the risk of refugees remaining undocumented, and leaves survivors of gender-based violence without support.
