United Nations Humanitarian Appeal 2009


The United Nations has launched its largest ever aid appeal, saying it will need US$ 7 billion to help 30 million people in 31 countries during 2009. The Humanitarian Appeal 2009 is the largest since the creation of the Consolidated Appeals Process in 1991. Sudan accounts for more than a quarter of all intended funds. The appeal comprises twelve consolidated appeals for the Central African Republic, Chad, Ivory Coast, Democratic Republic of Congo, Iraq and its region, Kenya, the Palestinian territories, Somalia, Sudan, Uganda, the West African region, and Zimbabwe.
