The U.N.’s humanitarian aid coordinator is downsizing its appeal for annual funding in 2026 after support this year — mostly from Western governments — plunged to the lowest level in a decade. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said Monday it was seeking $33 billion to help some 135 million people cope with fallout from wars, climate disasters, earthquakes, epidemics and food shortages. This year, it took in $15 billion, the lowest level in a decade. Palestinian areas, Sudan and Syria top the list of places set to get the most aid.
