GENEVA (AN) — Disruptions linked to the Strait of Hormuz are driving up the cost of delivering humanitarian aid worldwide, forcing relief agencies to make difficult choices as transport delays, port congestion and fuel shortages ripple far beyond the Middle East, United Nations officials said.
Officials from UNICEF, the World Food Program, the World Health Organization and the U.N. Trade and Development warned on Tuesday that the economic consequences of the crisis are increasingly affecting humanitarian operations across Africa, Asia and other vulnerable regions.
