EBN-Millions of people have been forced to leave their homes without a place to stay due to the hostilities that the globe has witnessed in recent years, including the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Sudanese conflict, and the Russian-Ukrainian war. International assessments from humanitarian organizations predict that there would be an additional 6.7 million individuals affected by the worldwide displacement issue. Millions of people are now without basic support as a result of what organizations have called a disastrous withdrawal of international aid from the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and other donor countries to humanitarian organizations.

“We are living in an era of war and impunity, and civilians are paying the heaviest price,” said Charlotte Slente, Secretary General of the Danish Refugee Council. “Millions face famine and displacement, and at a time when they need us most, wealthy countries are cutting back on aid.

“We are in the midst of a global ‘perfect storm’: record displacement, mounting needs, and catastrophic funding cuts as major donors abdicate their duty, leaving millions to suffer,” Selinti added. “This is more than just a crisis
