GENEVA (AN) — The head of the U.N. refugee agency says it needs an immediate injection of at least $300 million to avoid a deficit this year.
Filippo Grandi told UNHCR's Executive Committee on Monday the agency faces a severe financial deficit and operational constraints: the $3.9 billion in available funds it expects to receive this year falls $6.1 billion short of its $10 billion 2024 approved budget.
