(NIAMEY, 28 July 2023) -- The United Nations are very concerned about the situation that Niger has been going through for the past few days.
The United Nations in Niger would like to confirm that humanitarian assistance, development, and peace programs continue in the country. Only the United Nations humanitarian flights (UNHAS) are temporarily grounded due to the closure of Niger's airspace.
The United Nations and humanitarian partners remain fully committed and engaged to supporting the vulnerable populations of Niger affected by a combination of climate, economic and security shocks, in a context of very high humanitarian and development needs.
In 2023, before this political crisis, Niger had 4.3 million people in humanitarian need with 3.3 million in acute food insecurity situation, the vast majority of whom are women and children.
The United Nations reinforce its humanitarian appeal to all partners to further support the humanitarian operations in Niger, which, to date is only 32% funded.
