The Flash Appeal presents a strategic response to new emerging needs, alongside unmet needs in the 2021 Humanitarian Response Plan.
Humanitarians seek $606 million for the Flash Appeal to provide prioritised multi-sectoral assistance to 11 million people in the four remaining months of 2021. $193 million is needed to address new emerging needs and changes in operating costs, while $413 million is required for urgent unfunded assistance that was included in the original 2021 HRP.
