Funding Shortage May Cut Aid to 8.3M Refugees
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has warned that the current funding crisis could deprive 8.3 million refugees and internally displaced persons of assistance this year, as the risk of protection system collapses in some countries increases. The agency is facing its largest funding gap in history, totaling $5.789 billion, following a 24% decrease in funding between 2024 and 2025. As of July, it had received only 32% of its $8.505 billion request for 2026. Concurrent with the funding decline, the agency has reduced its workforce by 33%, closed offices, and halted operations in 15 countries. With rising expenditure restrictions, protection systems are on the brink of collapse, jeopardizing the survival of a large number of refugees without documents and vital support to combat gender-based violence.
