The UNHCR will cut international staff contracts as funding is projected to fall 15% to $3 billion by 2026. This follows a 30% funding drop in 2025 after donors like the United States reduced contributions. The shortfall limits aid capacity for displaced populations in Ukraine and Sudan as global crises intensify.
