Following a 90-day suspension of foreign assistance by the Trump administration, UN agencies, notably the UNHCR, are tightening their operations, which include halting new supplies and cutting staff. Filippo Grandi, UNHCR's chief, emphasized that these measures are vital to manage resources amidst financial uncertainty. The aid suspension affects numerous programs, significantly inhibiting assistance to over 122 million displaced individuals. Grandi underscored the urgency of demonstrating the agency's effectiveness during this challenging period, particularly with US funding being crucial to their budget.
We must proceed very carefully over the next few weeks to mitigate the impact of this funding uncertainty on refugees and displaced people, on our operations and on our teams.
More than ever, we must continue to demonstrate the impact and efficiency of our work.
