United States Announces Nearly $2.1 Billion in Humanitarian Assistance at the 79th UN General Assembly

At the 79th UN General Assembly, the United States announced nearly $2.1 billion in humanitarian assistance to address the unprecedented level of humanitarian needs globally.  This funding supports critical and life-saving humanitarian assistance to those impacted by crises, including displaced persons and the receptive host communities supporting displaced persons in their time of need.  This generous life-saving assistance from the American people includes more than $873 million through the Department of State’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration and more than $1.2 billion through the United States Agency for International Development’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance.  We call on other international donors to also make every effort to increase humanitarian funding to respond to the extreme level of need impacting people globally.
