#ElNiño is intensifying weather extremes, affecting 30M people in Southern Africa with the harshest mid-season drought in over a century.
I’ve allocated $13.5M from CERF - The UN's emergency fund to bolster early action & response and enhance community resilience against the climate crisis.
Central and northern regions of #Mali are currently grappling with two simultaneous crises: a sharp deterioration of food insecurity levels, and the arrival of 70,000 refugees
fleeing from neighbouring countries.
I'm allocating $11M from CERF - The UN's emergency fund to address this dual crisis.
Half the population of the Central African Republic - or 2.8 million people - need humanitarian aid.
I thank UN Humanitarian's Donor Support Group for taking the time to travel to CAR to learn about their needs, the importance of additional support and the value of the CERF - The UN's emergency fund & PooledFunds_OCHA
In #Somalia 🇸🇴, the effects of historic droughts & El Niño induced floods have fuelled an extreme cholera outbreak.
Martin Griffiths has allocated $2 million from CERF - The UN's emergency fund to support life-saving humanitarian assistance for the most vulnerable people.
Together, we #InvestInHumanity
Excellent visit to Bria 🇨🇫 with the UN Humanitarian Donor Support Group.
I had the opportunity to meet with displaced & returning communities, & with the dedicated colleagues on site who work tirelessly to provide humanitarian aid to the people who need it the most.
