An additional envelope of 1.8 billion dollars in U.S. humanitarian funding will allow the United Nations and its partners to scale up emergency relief operations and assist millions of people around the world, even as the explosion of humanitarian needs and the lack of funding force many agencies to reduce their aid programs.
