The new UN Nothilfekoordinator Tom Fletcher emphasized: "In a burning world, the most vulnerable pay the highest price: children, women, people with disabilities and arms." In addition, the need for support in the areas affected by the conflict such as the Palestinian areas, the Ukraine and Myanmar is particularly highly assessed, such as noted.

The lack of financial support means that only about 116 of the desired 180 million people who need help can actually be achieved. The United Nations and their partner organizations are faced with the urgent task of efficiently working despite the financial bottlenecks and providing necessary help. At a time when numerous regions of the world are in acute crises, international solidarity and support are more crucial than ever.
