In 2022, over 274 million people throughout the world would require emergency relief and protection, up 17% from last year, according to the UN’s humanitarian affairs chief.

At a press conference to announce the publication of the 2022 Global Humanitarian Overview, Martin Griffiths noted, “This is akin to the world’s fourth most populous country.”

“We plan to assist 183 million of the world’s most needy people, up from 183 million last year. In order to address the world’s humanitarian needs in 2022, we’ll require a record USD41 billion.”

Humanitarian agencies’ needs are well-known, according to Griffiths, and include lengthy conflicts, political instability, failing economies, and the climate disaster.

45 million people in 43 nations are “in risk of famine,” he claimed.

Griffiths used an interaction with a little Turkish girl in Turkey’s southeastern Gaziantep region, which has hosted a large number of Syrian refugees over the years, to illustrate the necessity of humanitarian operations.

“It’s our obligation,” she informed the UN official when asked how the inhabitants of Gaziantep dealt with the influx of individuals seeking their services.

“Humanitarian aid is important and can make a difference,” Griffiths added.

In response to a question about Turkey having the world’s largest refugee population, he said it was a “intolerable weight” for one country to bear.

“Turkey is home to almost nine million Syrian refugees in various locations. It’s an impossible load to bear. It’s a weight that’s felt in Lebanon and Jordan as well,” he said.

According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, food, medicines, health care services, and other assistance were provided to 107 million people in 2021, with the cooperation of many governments and the hard effort of numerous national and international institutions (OCHA).

“We were able to put an end to the famine in southern Sudan, which affected half a million people.” “We provided health treatment to 10 million people in Yemen and put the fear of hunger at bay,” Griffiths said, adding that 400,000 people in northern Ethiopia are still at risk of famine.

“We never left Afghanistan,” says the narrator. And now, with a planned program for 2022 that is three times the size of the program for 2021, we’ve arrived.”

The UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs also assisted in the immunization of millions of people in Myanmar, where the need for health and food programs is growing “more acute, more complicated, more sensitive,” he said.
