Impact of Humanitarian Crisis on Refugees and IDPs

Yemen remains in the midst of a complex emergency and humanitarian needs continue to grow at an alarming rate.

Some 190 million USD of the amount will be used to assist the displaced in West African countries.

Ces fonds visent à répondre à des besoins non satisfaits ou imprévus durant l’exercice. Il s’agit de la plus grande somme que l’OIM ait reçue de ce mécanisme de financement japonais jusqu’à présent.
