Global Appeal 2025 | Regional Overview
The Middle East and North Africa region is grappling with new and long-standing challenges related to forced displacement. Complex political and security environments are exacerbated by adverse global socioeconomic conditions, high inflation, dwindling donor interest, and decreasing tolerance for those supported by UNHCR. By mid-2024, there were 16.6 million forcibly displaced and stateless people in the region. Their humanitarian conditions remain precarious, particularly in terms of access to basic services, including livelihoods, and the risk of expulsion from several countries.
