Migrants rest on a Mediterranea Saving Humans NGO boat on July 4
THE world’s richest countries have so far only provided 27 per cent of the funds needed this year for humanitarian organisations to do their work, a leading refugee charity warned today.
According to the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), the United Nations donor countries have only contributed $7 billion (£5.5bn) of the $26bn (£20.5bn) that NGOs require to provide relief to around 94 million people across the world.
“This is about $2bn (£1.5bn) less than the funding received halfway into 2018,” the NRC said.
