Millions of people are at risk of loss of humanitarian aid, with the exacerbation of the financing reduction

This came in a new report issued by the Commission today, Friday. During her talk to reporters in Geneva today, Friday, Dominic Hyde, director of the UNHCR foreign relations, said that the report highlights “The destructive factors that storm millions of refugees and displaced: increasing displacement, shrinking financing, political indifference. Women and children, as always, are the most affected.”

Mrs. Hyde warned that behind these numbers “A real life is at stake.” She said: “Families are witnessing the disappearance of the support they were relied upon, forced to choose between feeding their children, buying medicines or paying the rent, while hope is fading in a better future. All sectors and operations have been affected, and basic support is suspended to maintain the continuation of life -saving aid.”

According to the analysis of the UNHCR programs and the funds she received this year, it reduced or suspended basic programs of $ 1.4 billion. The large financing discounts forced the UN agency to stop the new arrivals movement from border areas to safer places in places such as Chad and South Sudan, which left thousands stuck in remote areas.

Health and educational services are also reduced, with schools closed and employee lack in clinics. In the camps hosting the Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, about 230,000 children face the risk of stopping education, while the entire UNHCR program in Lebanon faces the risk of closing by the end of the year, according to Mrs. Hyde.

60% decrease

She said that financial aid and the delivery of emergency relief materials were reduced by 60% worldwide, and shelter programs have shrunk significantly. She pointed out that registration services, child protection and legal consultations, in addition to preventing and addressing gender -based violence, have been severely damaged.

The UN official continued, saying: “In South Sudan, 75% of the safe places of women and girls supported by the Commission, which left up to 80,000 women and a refugee girl, were closed, including survivors of sexual violence, without obtaining medical care, psychological and social support, legal assistance, material support or income -generating activities.”

Dominic Hyde has also warned that financing discounts affect the resettlement of refugees and their safe and voluntary return. She said: “About 1.9 million Afghan has returned to their homes or was forced to return since the beginning of the year, but the financial aid of returnees is barely sufficient to provide food, not to mention the rent, which is undermining the efforts made to ensure a stable reintegration.”

It is noteworthy that the UNHCR needs for financing for the current year are 10.6 billion US dollars, but the UNHCR has yet received only 23 %of it. Under these circumstances, Mrs. Hyde said that the commission teams focus her efforts on saving lives and protecting those forced to flee. She indicated that if additional financing is available, the Commission owns “The systems, partnerships and experiences needed to resume aid and expand their scope quickly.”
