On Ukraine, the U.N. said the humanitarian coordinator allocated $70,000,000 from the Ukraine Humanitarian Fund to support the 2025 humanitarian response plan. The funds are earmarked to assist newly displaced people, sustain essential services in frontline areas and strengthen local organizations assisting women, people with disabilities and other marginalized communities. The spokesperson said interagency convoys recently delivered aid to frontline areas including Pokrov and communities in Kherson.

In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, U.N. peacekeeping colleagues reported that more than 600 combatants from the Zaire armed group laid down their arms in Mabanga, Ituri province's Jugu territory. In a ceremony in Bunia, the mission also received more than 85 weapons and munitions; the U.N. said former combatants are being supported with agricultural projects, income-generating activities and community recovery programs to assist reintegration.

Turning to Sudan, the World Food Programme reached Wadd Madani, the capital of Al Jazeera state, with the first WFP delivery in over a year: 11 trucks carrying about 260 metric tons of food and nutrition supplies, which the U.N. said is enough for more than 20,000 people. The spokesperson said residents in Wadd Madani face severe shortages of food, water and health services and that OCHA has called for additional resources and protection for civilians amid reports of shootings, movement restrictions and gender-based violence.

The U.N. also thanked Antigua and Barbuda, Latvia, Nauru and Switzerland for full payments to the regular budget and said those payments brought the honor roll to 17 members.

Ending note: The U.N. said partners continue relief efforts in all highlighted locations and urged additional resources where needs remain acute.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Palestine, Lebanon & other topics - Daily Press Briefing (20 January 2025) | United Nations","oneSentenceSummary","The U.N. announced a $70 million allocation from the Ukraine Humanitarian Fund, reported the disarmament of more than 600 combatants in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and said the World Food Programme delivered supplies to Wadd Madani in Sudan's Al Jazeera state.","taxTitle","United Nations","taxId",77382,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":74,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":75,"_41":76,"_43":77,"_45":78,"_46":79,"_48":80,"_50":81,"_52":82,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":83,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":84,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":55,"_71":55,"_72":55},6672241,"U.N. envoy meets Syrian authorities as U.N. warns northeast hostilities hinder relief and repairs",101,305000,406000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2132658-ff4e96f2a1b26523b39bbecd5d350308&start=305&end=406","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2132658-ff4e96f2a1b26523b39bbecd5d350308/thumbnail_305000.jpg","/articles/6672241/UN-envoy-meets-Syrian-authorities-as-UN-warns-northeast-hostilities-hinder-relief-and-repairs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6672241-224f8918875b42186969782b49954230/orig.mp4?Expires=1770766376&Signature=kBhNO-ZY5Aw0GVa9DXMB4VUo3z0iuKKa8SbnFZo625fxLNFZiYREgS1KGKl2f~Q4FYtyYB~VUOmgXtetqg5t9PLjU0kFS~LiISykzyyW-Y8NEJNfK4kbZFmYLPw69notKwZKs5NysQueEpaXqGKBqyQmhMwZR8gm56THhwJE5v2Ft~S8EeJZNo7aiMsuO7knRESwLUUFCqaVonat3FgGsjRwJclFJgYjRFyO4pdAM5fYDPrtlEkMaizmZ9UJABlLjGWJ~K7pTTXpML3tT5sZPerR13oe7hz-gcaZE64qaFWyUWwCskWUJf1GO1qJfZFLtdqpchp19JZb1x54zioj3A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The United Nations said its special envoy for Syria held substantive talks with Damascus caretaker authorities on the country's transitional process and on U.N. support for a Syrian-led, inclusive political transition.

Farhan, the U.N. spokesperson, said the envoy stressed the importance of respecting Syria's sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity and of an inclusive, credible transition \"led and owned by the Syrians.\" The spokesperson added the envoy plans to continue consultations with a wide range of Syrian stakeholders.

On humanitarian conditions, the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reported intensified hostilities in northeast Syria between Jan. 16 and 18 that killed at least three civilians and injured 14 in and around Manbij and areas near the Tishrin Dam. The resulting insecurity has impeded humanitarian access and delayed repairs to the Tishrin Dam, which the spokesperson said has deprived more than 410,000 people of water and electricity for roughly six weeks.

The U.N. also reported damage to civilian objects and marketplaces after an improvised explosive device detonated in Manbij and said more than 24,000 displaced people remain in over 200 collective emergency centers across northeast Syria. The spokesperson reiterated that all parties must uphold obligations under international humanitarian law and must facilitate safe and unimpeded humanitarian operations.

Ending note: The U.N. said it continues to provide food, cash, winter and health assistance where security allows and urged parties to enable repairs and humanitarian access so essential services can be restored.","U.N. special envoy met with Damascus caretaker authorities to discuss transition support while U.N. humanitarian offices reported intensified hostilities in northeast Syria that are curtailing aid and delaying repairs to Tishrin Dam, leaving hundreds of thousands without water and power.",{"_33":86,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":87,"_41":88,"_43":89,"_45":90,"_46":91,"_48":92,"_50":93,"_52":94,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":95,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":96,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":55,"_71":55,"_72":55},6672246,"U.N. secretary-general to press Davos leaders on climate and ungoverned artificial intelligence",72,32000,104000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2132658-ff4e96f2a1b26523b39bbecd5d350308&start=32&end=104","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2132658-ff4e96f2a1b26523b39bbecd5d350308/thumbnail_32000.jpg","/articles/6672246/UN-secretary-general-to-press-Davos-leaders-on-climate-and-ungoverned-artificial-intelligence","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6672246-460cc5aabc2e4c9274eb45333ad9bde3/orig.mp4?Expires=1770766376&Signature=HSB40VqyEg~jme7D7BfrOh-wJlljdHLyJtYqlIw8-Y~AXGx7D-SH72vOiig3uVzs0RbOGcRl3-wnMTFAtb9BJWSe424edc6gMsR7MGUXk7-q-EqGyQ~mXTZNA2doSQ84T1w2nahjPx3V51SCezv-PhMXCA0~QLa0qlghLjjo166Q48oBWKj6zFVb1coQjXFbTF1b1z5HLfHcBnRDtlNoTIPRuP8PL~fCpL3~0EfEBKsFc~cNJ7J0t2EAQK-JBpcL7vX8E-mymhYQKbBMYbgedNtW5T0qMXpXgYlYdZemjETVtmwKW5uFAefdyfS~aBW~FjGR0lrQib5-X-~IEcxKcg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The United Nations said Secretary-General António Guterres will travel to Davos, Switzerland, to address this year's World Economic Forum and press leaders on two priorities: the climate crisis and the governance of rapidly advancing artificial intelligence.

Farhan, the U.N. spokesperson, said the secretary-general will deliver a special address on collaboration for \"the intelligent age,\" urging leaders to increase collective efforts to confront existential threats. Guterres is also scheduled for a series of bilateral meetings with government and private-sector leaders and will attend the U.N.'s annual retreat with special and personal representatives and envoys before returning to New York.

When asked for names of scheduled bilateral meetings, the spokesperson said the secretary-general's itinerary remained in flux and that daily updates on meetings would be provided. The spokesperson framed Guterres' message as a call to shift collaboration into \"overdrive\" to respond to worsening global challenges despite technological progress.

Ending note: The U.N. said Guterres will press for multilateral cooperation on climate action and for rules on emerging artificial intelligence systems during his Davos engagements.","The U.N. spokesperson said Secretary-General António Guterres will address climate change and the risks of ungoverned artificial intelligence at the World Economic Forum in Davos and meet leaders from governments and the private sector.",{"_33":98,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":99,"_41":100,"_43":101,"_45":102,"_46":103,"_48":104,"_50":105,"_52":106,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":107,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":108,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":55,"_71":55,"_72":55},6672250,"U.N. says Gaza ceasefire opened major humanitarian access as agencies scale up aid",1193,70000,1263000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2132658-ff4e96f2a1b26523b39bbecd5d350308&start=70&end=1263","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2132658-ff4e96f2a1b26523b39bbecd5d350308/thumbnail_70000.jpg","/articles/6672250/UN-says-Gaza-ceasefire-opened-major-humanitarian-access-as-agencies-scale-up-aid","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6672250-e6ce24bd33ae78dd051087da7c8b907b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770766376&Signature=gLgFmE0lmSiBfDW4l9XANpLeSSxOEUvkbxSCqV4WQld~KrjHnO7Nvke95mcG2LXTDzpTsILvCChjd7823p-9iG6knzGS4Y3rV6PKEUfFkk6lm0NrWisgUPpcx5O4EhO37DmJyjAZalLRsDQfDEBMPHnPkMUBocXVLXJERnIHIKO~JX6B6IjSSaxurHGrCVNALvlbx2nPBAuvtcqrExU53OEYbFfIlm~5AQv7SteOS88BFBFVzweUpetfXCr-wEI4xsSdM4aXN6QyOPr5K0PZ9gj1EER6HCIZ2qXeK12Vhqtv3n8KjW3D-7~VCE9XO~X82IAC8rlFZKVE8Wjwhk0c2g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The United Nations spokesperson said the ceasefire and hostage-release deal in Gaza has allowed a significant increase in humanitarian deliveries, with more than 630 trucks entering the territory on one recent day, about 300 of them to northern Gaza.

Farhan, the U.N. spokesperson, told reporters that the secretary-general described the deal as offering \"a ray of hope\" and urged parties to ensure it leads to the release of all hostages and a permanent ceasefire. He said the United Nations would \"do all we can\" to scale up assistance across Gaza while acknowledging \"significant obstacles, challenges, and constraints\".

The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and U.N. partners are prioritizing food, shelter, clean water and other essential supplies, the spokesperson said. He relayed the U.N.'s estimate that Gaza's entire population — more than 2,000,000 people — depends on those essentials and that children account for about half the population, with many surviving on one meal a day.

The World Health Organization outlined a 60-day plan to increase bed capacity at hospitals in northern and southern Gaza and to deploy additional health professionals from abroad. U.N. humanitarian briefings cited an estimated 30,000 people in Gaza with life-changing injuries who need specialized care, and partners said they are also looking at early-recovery measures to restore infrastructure and livelihoods where feasible.

On distribution and delivery, Farhan said the parties facilitating aid will collate and verify the number of trucks entering Gaza each evening; the U.N. will publish verified figures once that process is complete. He said the first surge included more than 630 trucks entering the day before, and that U.N. agencies and partners — including UNRWA, the World Food Programme and WHO — are working together at distribution points. \"So far, so good,\" he said when asked about widespread looting or violence affecting deliveries, but he cautioned the situation remains fluid.

Farhan said UNRWA plans to prepare for resuming education for the roughly 650,000 Palestinian children in Gaza \"once the fighting stops,\" while noting many former UNRWA schools are currently being used as displacement sites and would need to be reconfigured to return to schooling.

Humanitarian operations face infrastructure damage that could limit access, Farhan said: blocked or unsafe roads, rubble and mines will need to be cleared to reach some areas. He added that with the ceasefire in place, demining, rubble removal and similar activities can begin at scale.

The spokesperson said agencies are coordinating to prioritize life-saving assistance and that the U.N. continues to press countries with influence over the parties to ensure aid reaches civilians in need.

Ending note: The U.N. pledged daily updates on aid flows as figures are verified and reiterated calls for parties to facilitate safe, unimpeded humanitarian operations and the release of hostages as part of broader efforts toward a durable cessation of hostilities.","The U.N. spokesperson said the recent ceasefire and hostage-release deal enabled more humanitarian aid to enter Gaza, with agencies prioritizing food, water, medical care and shelter; U.N. officials warned infrastructure damage and access constraints remain major obstacles.","actionData","errors"]
