Earlier this month, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs launched a “hyper-prioritized” appeal to raise $29 billion by the end of the year.
The move comes after UNOCHA revealed it had received just $5.6 billion of funding so far for its plans from its main funders, who are typically donor governments.
Right now, it has less than 13% of what is needed, at almost the halfway point of the year.
