Worldwide escape crisis: 122 million people are desperately looking for help!
Around 122 million people worldwide are currently fleeing, as the current report of the UNHCR documents. This number has increased by over two million compared to the previous year, which illustrates the dramatic consequences of wars, conflicts and continuing humanitarian crises. Filippo Grandi, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, emphasizes that the financial resources of the UNHCR remain at the 2015 stand, which further tightens the situation. The fact that the help from the USA was frozen and many other countries have reduced their support is particularly worrying. This could have fatal consequences for the people affected by the crises.in Sudan, where almost 14 million people have left their homes, the humanitarian situation is catastrophic. It is estimated that around 13 million people in Sudan suffer from acute nutritional uncertainty, while fourteen regions of the country are on the verge of famine. The situation in the Zamzam camp for displaced people in North Darfur is particularly critical, where conditions of famine have already been found. Unicef predicts that around 3.7 million children in Sudan will suffer from acute malnutrition this year.
The challenges of assistance
The provision of humanitarian aid in Sudan is significantly difficult by access restrictions and bureaucratic hurdles. UN organizations need the permission of the authorities to permanently provide help in the communities concerned. These obstacles make it necessary to simplify the approval processes for aid deliveries and staff. There is an urgent need for immediate support for the civilian population, especially for women and children who are exposed to increased risk.
One of the most important appeals applies to the protection of human rights in Sudan. The parties to the conflict are asked to respect humanitarian international law and to prioritize the protection of the civilian population. Basic needs are often not covered, which also affects people in this crisis situation.
global perspective on children in crisis areas
But not only in Sudan the situation is critical. Global data show that UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore explains that so many children never needed humanitarian aid before. Every fourth child worldwide lives in a country affected by conflicts or natural disasters. The main causes of this emergency are hunger, infectious diseases and extreme weather phenomena that are reinforced by climate change.
A unicef -called emergency call call aims to offer 95 million parents and children in emergency situations. The desired programs include the provision of clean water, food, education and medical help for the most endangered groups. Flexible financial resources are essential in order to be able to react effectively to the needs of people in crisis and disaster areas.
The current humanitarian situation clearly shows that a quick and coordinated reaction is necessary to save the life and quality of life of the people affected. UNHCR, Unicef and other partner organizations are committed to ensuring basic care, but these efforts could soon reach their limits without adequate financial support.
