The United Nations has released $100 million to support 10 underfunded humanitarian crises in Africa, the Americas, Asia, and the Middle East, the U.N. said on Friday.
More than a third of this funding will go to aid operations in Yemen ($20 million) and Ethiopia ($15 million), where people are grappling with hunger, displacement, diseases and climate disasters, a spokesperson said during a regular briefing.
Other countries that will benefit from the funding include Myanmar ($12 million), Mali ($11 million), Burkina Faso ($10 million), Haiti ($9 million), Cameroon ($7 million), Mozambique ($7 million), El Nino-affected Burundi ($5 million) ,and Malawi ($4 million).
"We urgently need increased and sustained donor attention to these underfunded crises," Joyce Msuya, acting director of the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), said in a statement .
