The UN has cut its 2025 humanitarian appeal to $23 billion — about half of last year’s request — as donor funding plunges, even while global needs hit record levels. The reduced budget will force the UN to prioritize only the most critical cases, leaving tens of millions without support.⁣ ⁣ As UN aid chief Tom Fletcher puts it: “We drive the ambulance towards the fire on your behalf. But we are also now being asked to put the fire out. And there is not enough water in the tank. And we're being shot at.”⁣ ⁣ #UnitedNations #HumanitarianCrisis #GlobalAid #FundingCuts #WorldNews #HumanRights #GlobalSolidarity
