GENEVA (AN) — Up to 11.6 million refugees and displaced people are in jeopardy of losing critical humanitarian aid this year, UNHCR announced, attributing the crisis to severe budget cuts. This figure represents approximately one-third of all people the organization assisted last year.
The U.N. refugee agency's report on Friday details a "deadly confluence" of escalating displacement, dwindling financial support, and political indifference, with women and children bearing the brunt of the crisis.
