Tom Fletcher, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Afairs and Emergency Relief coordinator, briefs press ahead of the release of the Global Humanitarian Overview 2026.
The world spent $2.7 trillion on weapons last year. In 2026, OCHA will ask the world for $23 billion to save 87 million lives. OCHA is asking for just 1% of that to save 87 million lives—more than died in WWII.
The next 87 days decide whether the world shows up.
