As wars intensify and donor funding dries up, the global humanitarian system is under unprecedented strain. Life-saving operations are being scaled back just as needs explode across Gaza, Sudan, Ukraine and climate-driven disasters worldwide. United States and European aid cuts are reducing available resources for relief efforts.

Urgent action on funding, security, and legal protection is required to sustain essential aid services.
