UNHCR Warns of Aid Shortage for 8.3 Million

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has warned that escalating funding crises could result in approximately 8.3 million refugees and internally displaced persons being deprived of aid this year, as the organization approaches its worst-ever funding shortfall. UNHCR faces a funding gap of around $5.8 billion after a 24% decrease in funding between 2024 and 2025, with only 32% of the required amount for 2026 received by July. This has led to significant reductions in its capabilities, including cuts to the workforce and the closure of offices, increasing the risk of protection systems collapsing and hampering refugee registration and the delivery of essential services, particularly in countries such as Sudan, Chad, and Afghanistan. The organization emphasizes that continued funding shortages seriously threaten the provision of the protection and support needed by internally displaced persons and refugees worldwide.
