The UN plans to provide $5.7B in aid to war-affected Ukrainians in 2023.

13.6 million war-affected Ukrainians have already received UN aid, and a total of $5.7B has been requested for Ukraine’s needs next year, the UN reported. In total, a record $51.5B needs to be raised to help the 230 million most vulnerable people in 2023. This is 25% more than this year. The UN estimates that another 65 million people will need assistance next year, bringing the total number of people in 68 countries to 339 million. That’s more than 4% of the people on the planet or roughly the population of the United States. The UN’s emergency aid coordinator, Martin Griffiths, noted that it will be challenging to obtain the total amount. This year, the UN humanitarian appeal is only 47% funded.
