On Friday, October 29, the agency launched its annual winter fundraising campaign aimed at securing funds to meet the needs of families in hardship during the cold season.<\/p>\n<p>UNHCR has requested a minimum of $50 million in financial aid, which is $3 million more than the contributions received last year. This increase comes amid a significant budget reduction that has limited the agency&#8217;s ability to address humanitarian needs.<\/p>\n<p>The UNHCR intends to use these funds to assist vulnerable families in the four countries in coping with cold weather and challenges arising from energy shortages. The urgent need for financial support threatens the lives of millions living in difficult conditions, and the lack of sufficient resources has once again sparked dissatisfaction and concern within the humanitarian community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UNHCR urges urgent $50M funding to aid vulnerable families in Afghanistan, Ukraine, Syria, and Lebanon amid rising energy costs and harsh winter conditions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":25045,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,6,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25046","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-important-news","category-international","category-top-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25046","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25046"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25046\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25045"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25046"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25046"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25046"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
