The UN Refugee Agency warned on September 29 that refugee support and protection systems in major displaced regions around the world are at risk of collapse due to “ongoing serious funding cuts,” and that nearly 8.3 million refugees and other forcibly displaced and stateless people may not be able to receive corresponding assistance this year. The UN Refugee Agency stated in a report released on the same day that from 2024 to 2025, its available funds were reduced by 24%, from 5.2 billion US dollars to 3.9 billion US dollars. By the end of July 2026, the UN Refugee Agency had received only 32% of the US$8.5 billion it needed for that year, leaving a funding gap of nearly US$5.8 billion.
