UNHCR warns of aid cuts for 8.3 million
The UN Refugee Agency has warned that the worsening funding crisis may result in around 8.3 million refugees and internally displaced persons being deprived of aid in 2026, amid the collapse of protection systems in some countries. The agency is facing a funding gap of approximately $5.789 billion after a 24% decrease in funding between 2024 and 2025, with only 32% of its 2026 budget request received up to July. The number of beneficiaries is expected to rise to 131.2 million by the end of the year, adding further pressure on protection systems—particularly in countries like Chad, Sudan, and Afghanistan—where displaced persons are experiencing delays in registration and losing access to essential services. This is occurring amid resource cuts and the closure of UNHCR offices in several locations, threatening the viability of protection mechanisms and the provision of vital support to those in need.
