To mark World Humanitarian Day, the deputy director of the World Food Programme in Burma, Guillaume Foliot, analyses the action taken by this UN agency. South Sudan, Syria, Iraq and the Central African Republic all currently require emergency intervention, but humanitarian workers are increasingly vulnerable on the ground.
US president Joe Biden will announce nearly $2 billion in further military assistance for Ukraine that will include a Patriot missile battery to help it defend itself against barrages of Russian missiles, a senior US official said, as Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky heads to Washington for his first foreign visit since the war began.
The UN says $5bn (€4.4bn) is needed to pay health and other essential workers to help prevent the collapse of basic services following the Taliban takeover.
The return of the Taliban to power has had disastrous consequences, with almost 98% of Afghans affected by the huge shortage of food plaguing the country.
The UN warns that needs are skyrocketing worldwide as the pandemic continues to rage, and climate change and conflicts push more people to the brink of famine.
