Humanitarian response funding decreases in Syria

Damascus, May 21 (Prensa Latina) Edem Wosornu, Director of Operations and Advocacy at the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), stated on Wednesday that the funding rate for the humanitarian response plan for Syria decreased drastically.

Wosornu clarified that funding was reduced from 70 percent in 2019 to 36 percent in 2024, and does not currently exceed 10.3 percent.

The official expressed hope that lifting sanctions would attract more support from member states and international financial institutions.

She underscored that the United Nations’ role is to support the Syrian people without interfering in politics and to stand by their side during this critical phase.

A recent OCHA report assured that some 16.5 million Syrians, including 7.4 million internally displaced individuals, need humanitarian aid in this nation.
