• The United Nations allocated $100 million from its Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) to address urgent humanitarian needs in ten crisis-affected countries. • Yemen received the largest share of $20 million due to its ongoing civil war, followed by Ethiopia with $15 million for internal conflict issues. • Other allocations include Myanmar ($12 million), Mali ($11 million), Burkina Faso ($10 million), Haiti ($9 million), Cameroon ($7 million), Mozambique ($7 million), Burundi ($5 million), and Malawi ($4 million), all facing various conflicts and climate-related challenges. • This allocation is the second in 2024, indicating a growing gap between increasing humanitarian needs and available resources. • The global humanitarian community requested $49 billion this year, but only 29% of the required funds have been provided, leaving a $35 billion shortfall. • CERF has distributed $9.3 billion since 2005, with $3.2 billion specifically for underfunded crises, and aims to raise $1 billion annually for rapid humanitarian response.
