Saudi Arabia warns global humanitarian crisis will escalate in 2023

NEW YORK, 10 December 2022, (TON): Saudi Press Agency reported “humanitarian needs will increase worldwide in the year ahead, Saudi aid experts warn, requiring solidarity among the international community and the continued support of donors within the UN.”

Aqil Al-Ghamdi, the assistant supervisor general director for planning and development at the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center, also known as KSRelief, said the areas worst affected by the escalating crisis will be the Horn of Africa, the Sahel region, the Great Lakes, Haiti and Ukraine.

Their situations will get worse because of factors such as economic disparity, climate change, food shortages, rising prices of fuel and fertilizer, the pandemic, ebola and cholera outbreaks, all of which will have crippling effects on the humanitarian situation.
