U.N. flags funding shortfalls as UNICEF scales emergency aid in Sudan; Mozambique appeal underfunded
Summary
The U.N. reported that Sudan's humanitarian plan is 35% funded and UNICEF has expanded water trucking, malnutrition treatment and child protection work; the briefing also noted Mozambique's appeal is under 28% funded with $97 million received of $352 million needed.
The United Nations warned reporters that humanitarian operations in Sudan and Mozambique are severely underfunded and that partners are scaling emergency responses amid worsening conditions. The U.N. spokesperson said the humanitarian response plan for Sudan is only about 35% funded, with roughly $1.5 billion received out of $4.2 billion required, and urged donors to increase support.
On the ground, UNICEF and partners have expanded assistance across affected areas: the spokesperson described water trucking for "tens of thousands" of people, treatment of acute malnutrition through 14 primary health units and 10 mobile teams, psychosocial support to more than 3,000 children, reunification of over 200 separated children, and support for roughly 5,000 students through more than 30 reopened schools. The U.N. stressed urgent needs for nutrition, health and water, sanitation and hygiene services in areas reporting alarmingly high child malnutrition.
Separately, the spokesperson said the 2025 humanitarian appeal for Mozambique was underfunded at less than 28%, with $97 million received of $352 million requested. The U.N. said available funds from the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) will prioritize water, sanitation and hygiene as well as household items, shelter, protection and livelihood support in targeted districts.
The briefing framed these reports as part of end-of-year shortfalls that could limit life-saving assistance unless donors step up.
