In a statement read by the U.N. spokesperson Farhan, the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that “attacks on civilians in Gaza have continued, including the reported killing and injury of people seeking food and other aid.” The spokesperson also said partners reported that children were temporarily separated from their families during mass movements near militarized distribution points and that partners were working to reunite and reduce risk for children.

OCHA reported recent operational difficulties: telecommunications cables had been repaired after prior access denials, but outages recurred in Central and Southern Gaza and required urgent repairs; fuel stocks were “critically low,” with diesel nearly exhausted in the south and partners rationing supplies; and humanitarian movements remained frequently denied — the U.N. said seven of 17 coordination requests were refused on a recent day. The spokesperson said over 50 truckloads were sent to the Kerem Shalom crossing after Israeli authorities approved them, but heavy restrictions remained on what and how much may enter.

The U.N. said shelter materials have been barred from entry for more than 100 days, raising concern that displaced people will lack replenishable shelter items as they are forced into repeated displacement. The spokesperson warned that humanitarian, banking and communications activities in Gaza “may halt very soon” unless fuel supplies resume or the U.N. is enabled to retrieve stocks inside the Strip that require coordination with Israeli authorities.

Asked about specific schemes for distributing aid, the U.N. spokesperson reiterated that U.N. experts had warned some recent distribution approaches were not workable. He said the secretary-general had “made it clear” that unimpeded humanitarian deliveries through established crossings are the solution and reiterated calls for an immediate permanent ceasefire, the unconditional release of all hostages, and “rapid, safe, and unimpeded delivery of humanitarian assistance.”

Ending note: U.N. agencies continued to press for access and for donor support to sustain operations as needs rise; the spokesperson said more details and the full statements are being issued by U.N. offices.","The U.N. described repeated denials of humanitarian movements, critical fuel shortages, and attacks on civilians seeking food in Gaza; the secretary-general and U.N. agencies urged unimpeded access and called for a ceasefire and safe delivery of aid.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":78,"_47":91,"_49":92,"_51":93,"_53":94,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":95,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":96,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":56,"_72":56,"_73":56},6515907,"UN launches $29 billion prioritized appeal as humanitarian funding falls to historic lows",95,72000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3844752-222e0620f079bbfbf0e3bae79d3078a0&start=72&end=167","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3844752-222e0620f079bbfbf0e3bae79d3078a0/thumbnail_72000.jpg","/articles/6515907/UN-launches-29-billion-prioritized-appeal-as-humanitarian-funding-falls-to-historic-lows","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6515907-ee08e7340dfbf3cbd7f5984a3fb111e3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771187418&Signature=O~KQredg7b6-Dh1marGAGgtqmpP~aT47~Hm43AwC3RXb568LL51A878ZyHwXXMvuaAIVcTdC6A6SfsqxLffjdMSwwKK50KlTw9tEO4uP0pgLBVUiV~46UmHm2s1Qxo9cl0fAE5wP-itWwVrsl~Dt8Ds85OIFKUQigiI2NZdpTwI6osrYAwvOzuJQQbep1zH3IH8~0C7hIl~co4qW9tfRMq3PxAmOykz02tSTlqVysDwdqKyiYCAOlmDJoPENqSxrFCjMaUmZ1gx5pbFLDo6swYf4mvGfc5qB7hDdV4qAiPaKYjSSDIInPiBRGgG2PGx5Y7kVSAXAA3E4RVWNpj658w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The United Nations on Tuesday issued a prioritized global humanitarian appeal seeking $29,000,000,000 to help an estimated 114,000,000 people facing life-threatening needs across more than 70 countries and territories.

United Nations officials said the $29 billion request narrows the focus to the most urgent elements of the Global Humanitarian Overview 2025, whose total requirements remain $44,000,000,000. Farhan, the U.N. spokesperson, said the wider appeal issued in December is still in effect.

Why it matters: U.N. humanitarian coordinators warned that deep funding cuts have forced aid agencies into “brutal choices” about who can receive life‑saving assistance. Emergency Relief Coordinator Tom Fletcher said that, with current funding levels, “too many people will not get the support they need.”

The appeal follows a year of steep shortfalls: U.N. officials said nearly half the year is past and donors have provided roughly $5,600,000,000, or less than 13% of the broader $44 billion requirement.

The prioritized appeal covers lifesaving activities across sectors, including food assistance, health, water and sanitation, protection and shelter, and targets the most acute situations first. The statement released by the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) emphasized that the prioritized request does not replace the Global Humanitarian Overview but instead highlights the most urgent needs.

Officials also flagged several country-level hotspots. A recent joint report by the World Food Programme and the Food and Agriculture Organization projects sharp increases in acute food insecurity in the next five months across 13 countries; the highest-concern list includes Sudan, Palestine, South Sudan, Haiti and Mali. The U.N. called for a coordinated international effort to deescalate conflicts and scale up aid to prevent further loss of life.

The statement noted the International Day of Family Remittances, observing that migrants have sent an estimated $5,000,000,000,000 in remittances to low‑ and middle‑income countries over the past decade — an important but insufficient source of support for many households.

Ending note: U.N. officials said they will prioritize available funds to people at highest risk while continuing to press donors for the broader resources needed to maintain and expand assistance worldwide.","The United Nations Department for Humanitarian Affairs and partners issued a prioritized global appeal seeking $29 billion to address the most urgent needs across more than 70 countries; overall humanitarian requirements remain $44 billion and funding is far short of that level.","actionData","errors"]
