UNHCR warns of funding impacts
Bahram Salih, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, warned that severe funding shortages will force the organization to cut back its humanitarian operations worldwide. To date, only $3 billion has been secured out of the total request of $8.5 billion for 2026. Financial constraints have led to a reduction in the agency’s staff from around 20,000 to fewer than 12,000. Estimates indicate that funding for 2024 remains uncertain, with expectations of an increase following the upcoming donors' conference in December. He explained that the funding crisis is having a tangible impact on refugees and humanitarian partners, warning that restructuring cannot compensate for the funding shortfall forever.
