The United Nations has issued a call for over $47 billion in aid for 2025, citing expanding conflicts and the ongoing climate crisis as factors leaving 305 million people in need of assistance. Humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher emphasizes the urgency of addressing these crises and warns of ‘donor fatigue’ impacting operations. With previous humanitarian appeals underfunded, the UN faces challenges in reaching the most vulnerable populations amid escalating violence and violations of international law. Fletcher plans to engage with U.S. officials as concerns rise over cuts to humanitarian budgets.
