United Nations Secretary‑General António Guterres has welcomed a new commitment from the United States, which has pledged an initial $2 billion to support the UN’s emergency humanitarian operations worldwide.
According to a statement released by the Secretary‑General’s office, the funding will significantly strengthen the UN’s ability to reach people facing life‑threatening crises, from conflict zones to regions hit by natural disasters. UN officials say the contribution will help expand relief efforts, deliver essential supplies, and support communities most at risk.
Guterres emphasized that every contribution matters as humanitarian needs continue to rise globally. He urged other international donors to increase their support, warning that the scale of today’s emergencies requires collective action and sustained financial backing.
The new US commitment is expected to play a crucial role in helping the UN respond more quickly and effectively to urgent situations around the world.
