UN EMERGENCY FUND ALLOCATES $72 MILLION FOR LIFE-SAVING AID IN
NEGLECTED CRISESNew York, Jul 16 2013 11:00AMThe United Nations
humanitarian chief today announced the allocation of some $72 million
from an emergency fund to assist people in neglected crises in 12
countries around the world.

"Millions of people around the world are in dire need but we don't
always see or hear of their plight," said the Under-Secretary-General
for Humanitarian Affairs, Valerie Amos.

"This money will save lives by ensuring that humanitarian
organizations can continue to support the most vulnerable men, women
and children caught in the midst of devastating disasters and
conflicts."

This latest allocation brings the total amount provided by the UN
Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) to an unprecedented $172
million in a single year, the UN Office for the Coordination of
Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said in a
<"http://reliefweb.int/report/world/central-emergency-response-fund-provides-unprecedented-172-million-neglected">news
release.

The funds will support vital humanitarian aid in Bangladesh, Chad,
Colombia, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), Haiti,
Madagascar, Mauritania, Myanmar, Niger, Pakistan, the Philippines and
Somalia.

CERF, which is managed by OCHA, is one of the world's largest sources
of humanitarian funding, and every year a third of all its funds is
set aside for underfunded emergencies to help even out disparities
between aid appeals. Since 2006, nearly a third of the $3 billion
allocated from CERF has gone to neglected crises in more than 40
countries.

CERF is funded by voluntary contributions from Member States,
non-governmental organizations (NGOs), local governments, the private
sector and individual donors.Jul 16 2013 11:00AM
