The appeals are funded at $7.2 billion, with unmet requirements totalling $14.7 billion. Overall, donors have contributed $13.7 billion towards humanitarian operations in 2016 and pledged a further $814.4 million. On 20 July, humanitarian partners launched an urgent appeal for $284 million to prepare for the humanitarian impact of the military operation to retake Mosul from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). It is vital that this amount is received a full 2.5 months before the start of the military offensive so that minimum preparedness measures can be put in place. Funding requirements once the Mosul offensive is under way will depend on the scope, type and length of the military campaign. In a worst-case scenario, nearly $1.8 billion may be required to assist up to 1.5 million people considered to be at risk. Contributions are also urgently required to allow organizations to scale up or sustain operations in Syria and the region. Although the London conference earlier this year saw record-level pledges and $4.8 of the $ 6 billion pledged has been allocated, some donors have not yet allocated the funds pledged. The Syria Humanitarian Response Plan and the Syria Regional Refugee and Resilience Plan (3RP) are funded at 27 and 43 per cent respectively. Additionally, UN country teams in Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria are seeking to scale up operations. These countries require $559 million to meet the emergency needs caused by the Lake Chad Basin crisis. Additional and timely donor support will be critical to mounting an effective response. Please see icon overleaf for information on other urgent funding needs. For El Niño, globally Government or Humanitarian Country Team plans call for approximately $5 billion. The funding gap is about $3.3 billion. Over $600 million is required for Ethiopia alone and $2.7 billion for Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries. The Southern Africa Regional Inter-Agency Standing Committee (RIASCO) launched a regional El Niño response plan which has three pillars: humanitarian, resilience and macro-financial. To address priority humanitarian needs, partners require $1.2 billion, of which $237 million has been contributed to date. Meanwhile, the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) has received $273 million for 2016 as of the end of July, most of which have been directed to 35 countries for life-saving activities. In July alone, $21.6 million were disbursed to emergencies in seven countries - Iraq, Bangladesh, DRC, Malawi, Rwanda, Nigeria and Sudan. The second round of underfunded-emergencies window allocation of $50 million will be announced in August. Currently, the CERF secretariat anticipates a funding gap of $50 million of the $450 million annual target for 2016. New contributions are urgently required to secure adequate funding for future response. So far in 2016, 17 Member States have contributed $385 million to country-based pooled funds (CBPFs). In turn, $301 million has been allocated to frontline responders: 20 per cent to national NGOs; 46 per cent to international NGOs; 33 per cent to UN agencies; 1 per cent to Red Cross / Crescent.

As of 31 July 2016, UN-coordinated Humanitarian Response Plans (HRP), Flash Appeals and Regional Refugee Plans as covered by the Global Humanitarian Overview (GHO) require US$21.9 billion to meet the needs of 96.9 million people affected by humanitarian crises in 40 countries. The appeals are funded at $7.2 billion, with unmet requirements totalling $14.7 billion. Overall, donors have contributed $13.7 billion towards humanitarian operations in 2016 and pledged a further $814.4 million.

On 20 July, humanitarian partners launched an urgent appeal for $284 million to prepare for the humanitarian impact of the military operation to retake Mosul from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). It is vital that this amount is received a full 2.5 months before the start of the military offensive so that minimum preparedness measures can be put in place. Funding requirements once the Mosul offensive is under way will depend on the scope, type and length of the military campaign. In a worst-case scenario, nearly $1.8 billion may be required to assist up to 1.5 million people considered to be at risk.

Contributions are also urgently required to allow organizations to scale up or sustain operations in Syria and the region. Although the London conference earlier this year saw record-level pledges and $4.8 of the $ 6 billion pledged has been allocated, some donors have not yet allocated the funds pledged. The Syria Humanitarian Response Plan and the Syria Regional Refugee and Resilience Plan (3RP) are funded at 27 and 43 per cent respectively.

Additionally, UN country teams in Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria are seeking to scale up operations. These countries require $559 million to meet the emergency needs caused by the Lake Chad Basin crisis. Additional and timely donor support will be critical to mounting an effective response. Please see icon overleaf for information on other urgent funding needs.

For El Niño, globally Government or Humanitarian Country Team plans call for approximately $5 billion. The funding gap is about $3.3 billion. Over $600 million is required for Ethiopia alone and $2.7 billion for Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries. The Southern Africa Regional Inter-Agency Standing Committee (RIASCO) launched a regional El Niño response plan which has three pillars: humanitarian, resilience and macro-financial. To address priority humanitarian needs, partners require $1.2 billion, of which $237 million has been contributed to date.

Meanwhile, the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) has received $273 million for 2016 as of the end of July, most of which have been directed to 35 countries for life-saving activities. In July alone, $21.6 million were disbursed to emergencies in seven countries - Iraq, Bangladesh, DRC, Malawi, Rwanda, Nigeria and Sudan.

HUMANITARIAN

SYRIAFunding for the Syria Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) and the Syria Regional Refugee and Resilience Plan (3RP) is at 27 per cent and 40 per cent respectively. Although the London conference earlier this year saw record-level pledges, some donors have not yet allocated the funds pledged. Contributions are urgently required to allow organizations to scale up or sustain operations in Syria and the region.

IRAQOn 20 July, humanitarian partners launched an urgent appeal for $284 million to prepare for the humanitarian impact of the military operation to retake Mosul from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). This amount must be received 2.5 months before the start of the military offensive to enable minimum preparedness measures. The funding requirements once the Mosul offensive is underway will depend on the scope, type and length of the military campaign and, in a worst case, nearly $1.8 billion may be required to assist up to 1.5 million people who could be affected. With the highly prioritised 2016 Humanitarian Response Plan only 42 per cent funded, operational partners have depleted stocks, and require urgent additional funds to prepare for Mosul.

LAKE CHAD BASINThe humanitarian situation in the Lake Chad Basin is deteriorating, and 5.2 million people urgently need assistance. Due to ongoing attacks from Boko Haram and military operations, some 2.8 million people, including 1.5 million children, have been driven into displacement. Recent assessments have revealed an alarming food security and malnutrition crisis, as hundreds of thousands of farmers have missed three planting seasons in row and trade routes have been disrupted. In Borno State, Nigeria, the epicentre of the crisis, UNICEF has reported that 244,000 children are suffering from severe acute malnutrition, and that 49,000 of these children – almost 1 in 5 – will die in 2016 if they are not reached with treatment. The Country Teams in Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Cameroon are seeking to scale up their operations and have issued Humanitarian Response Plans requesting $559 million for the Lake Chad Basin in 2016, and urgently need additional donor support.

Figures are as reported by donors and recipient organizations to the Financial Tracking Service as of 31 July 2016. All financial data is continuously updated on fts.unocha.org. Dollar signs in this document denote United States dollars.

HUMANITARIAN

CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLICFunding for CAR is currently at a meagre 21 percent. Due to underfunding, key implementing partners have announced the withdrawal of operations. Save the Children is a case in point as it plans to close operations in CAR by October. The Humanitarian Country Team is striving to maintain operations through other members. If underfunding continues the humanitarian presence scaled-up during the L3 to respond to the crisis is likely to recede still further, especially in the interior where the Government is practically absent and operating costs are higher than elsewhere due to logistics and security concerns. Unless funding is rapidly disbursed vulnerable communities will be deprived of health services and other life-saving humanitarian programmes including food aid. As many as 50 percent of people in CAR depend on food assistance to survive, yet the food security sector remains 89 percent underfunded.

DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGOThe deterioration of the security situation in several regions of the DRC and forced closures of IDP sites have caused renewed population movements and cut vulnerable people off from life-saving assistance and basic services. Floods in some provinces and late rainfall in others have increased the food insecure population by 24% to 5.6 million people since the beginning of 2016. Adverse weather has been one of the causes of a cholera outbreak affecting over 700,000 people. A yellow fever epidemic in recent months caused 95 deaths among nearly 2,000 suspected cases in five provinces. Humanitarian organizations urgently require $690 million in order to assist 6 million people in need.

YEMENMore than half way through 2016, Yemen's Humanitarian Response Plan is currently funded at a mere 26 per cent. Over the last year, the number of food insecure people in Yemen grew from six to seven million, one step away from a declaration of famine. Over 14 million people require healthcare assistance as the health sector has all but collapsed in the absence of a fully functioning formal economy; private healthcare has been curbed and the Government's ability to pay salaries and provide basic social services has been limited. Urgent funding is needed to ensure that the UN and partners can reach people most in need throughout the country. Without the necessary funding food rations may be reduced and the food pipeline may break in the next month. The 2016 Yemen HRP aims to reach 13.6 million people by the end of 2016. So far, on average 4 million people have been reached each month with some form of assistance.

LIBYAUrgent action is needed to prevent further deterioration of the humanitarian situation in Libya, where 2.4 million people are in need of assistance. The health system is on the verge of collapse due to shortages of medicine, equipment and personnel. Nearly two million people, or a third of the population, need access to life-saving health services. Food insecurity is on the increase, with 1.3 million people in need of food assistance due to the severe disruption of supply routes, damage to critical market infrastructure, limited availability of cash and rising prices. Food distribution to the most vulnerable will cease as of September if urgent funding does not materialize. Recent escalation of violence in Sirte has displaced over 90,000 people, of whom 72,000 people are in need. Humanitarian capacities have been stretched and additional funding is required to prevent a rupture in the humanitarian assistance.

ECUADORThe Flash Appeal, seeking US$ 72.7 million to support 350,000 people with multi-sector life-saving assistance, protection services and immediate livelihood restoration, is 29 per cent funded despite a US$ 7.5 million CERF allocation. While the Government is keen to move quickly to the reconstruction phase, the Flash Appeal period has been extended for an additional three months (August to October) to cover unmet immediate humanitarian needs. Lack of funding will mainly affect rural areas where some 73,000 people remain displaced and in need of shelter, WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) and food assistance.

HAITIThe humanitarian situation remains complex in Haiti. Additional funding is needed to control the recent cholera upsurge (US$ 8 million received - funded at 39 per cent) and to address rising food insecurity (US$ 33.8 million received - funded at 32 per cent). Funding shortfalls have meant a 40 per cent reduction in cholera response teams and heavy rains have led to an increase in cholera cases, to the point where weekly incident levels are now similar to those of 2013. Insufficient funding will jeopardize the capacity of humanitarian partners to provide food assistance and to support emergency agriculture, nutrition and livelihood interventions.

AFGHANISTANOver 172,000 Afghans, 80 per cent of them women and children, have been newly internally displaced in 2016 due to escalating conflict. Despite the sharpened focus of the 2016 HRP on life-saving interventions compared to 2015, US$ 280 million is still required, in particular in the areas of health and acute malnutrition. Funds are urgently needed to mitigate growing humanitarian needs of families unable to return home for several months - beyond the current immediate support for the first month of displacement. Prolonged displacement in very hard conditions, with lack of access to food, safe water and basic health services, will compound the malnutrition crisis. Currently only 38 per cent of children in need of treatment for severe acute malnutrition are being reached.

SOMALIADrought continues to have a devastating impact on Somalia. With crops destroyed and reduced livestock productivity, food security is expected to deteriorate over the next five months. Somalia is experiencing a complex and protracted crisis with 4.7 million people, or 38 per cent of the population, in need of humanitarian and livelihood support, including more than one million people who have been displaced. At least 305,000 children under the age of five are acutely malnourished and Global Acute Malnutrition rates in some areas are already above 21 per cent and continue to rise. Of the US$ 885 million requested in the 2016 HRP, only US$319 million or 36 per cent has been received. If funding is not provided now, mortality and morbidity rates as well as school drop-outs will increase. Further displacement and localised conflict will occur due to competition over water and pasture resources among pastoralists.

IRAQThe humanitarian operation in Iraq is highly prioritised. With ten million people in need of some form of assistance, at least US$4.5 billion are required to respond at international standards. Partners appealed for only a fraction of this in January, launching a Humanitarian Response Plan for 2016 with requirements of $861 million. The plan targets 7.3 million people with basic emergency packages for each cluster, sequenced across first-line, second-line and full-cluster responses. Despite its rigorous prioritization, only 42 per cent of the amount appealed for has been received. The impact this underfunding will have cannot be underestimated. Front-line partners have been unable to provide adequate assistance to over 85,000 people who fled Fallujah in May and June this year, and agencies have been unable to prepare for the Mosul operation, which may become the single largest, most complex humanitarian operation in the world in 2016.

ETHIOPIAEthiopia remains in the emergency phase of El Niño, with approximately 10 million people still requiring emergency food assistance due to the drought. Floods have affected more than 3 million people and contributed to the rapid spread of disease including Acute Watery Diarrhoea, which is at risk of becoming endemic. La Niña conditions this year may cause heavy autumn floods followed by drought-like conditions in 2017. While strong donor support for the response has had a critical impact, particularly on malnutrition, it is vital that this support be continued through to the end of the year. Of the US$ 1.52 billion requested, $539 million or 35 per cent is still urgently required for lifesaving humanitarian assistance in the form of food, nutrition, agriculture, water, sanitation and hygiene, health and education. Those most immediately impacted by lack of funding will be the more than 450,000 severely malnourished people, mainly children, and around 2.5 million moderately malnourished people across the country.
