The United Nations will ask for 25% more money in 2023 to fund humanitarian aid operations globally, the UN aid chief told a Reuters NEXT event on Wednesday.

The United Nations had appealed for a record $41 billion to provide life-saving assistance for 2022 and is due to launch its appeal for 2023 on Thursday.

Griffiths said the gap between funding and needs was growing because of the “knock-on effects of the last couple of years” from events like the war in Ukraine, conflict, the COVID-19 pandemic and other crises, like a spike in cholera outbreaks. “Half the people who died in Somalia died before the famine was declared,” International Rescue Committee President David Miliband told the Reuters NEXT event. “Why aren’t we taking action now because we know the deaths are starting now.”
