“More than two-thirds of operations funded through Ukraine's humanitarian fund are carried out by local groups, according to Fletcher.”

“Fletcher said the UN needs more than $2 billion (€1.7 billion) for its prioritised humanitarian response in Ukraine this year, with winter among his biggest concerns.”

“Fletcher said the organisation initially identified 87 million people facing the most severe humanitarian needs, but that figure has since risen to about 92 million.”

“The UN is seeking $23 billion (€19 billion) to provide life-saving assistance to those people and had raised about $11 billion (€9.4 billion), Fletcher said.”

“Ukraine is relatively well funded compared with many other crises, he added, with roughly 70%–75% of its hyper-prioritised funding requirement covered.”

“U.N. humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher announced the allocation of an additional $30.5 million and the deployment of 20 more staff to aid the response on the frontlines.”
