United Nations agencies have warned that the decline in global humanitarian funding is putting the education of millions of refugee children at growing risk, according to Deutsche Welle Arabic.
According to the report, millions of refugee children around the world face the possibility of being denied access to school or continuing their education, as a number of donor entities have reduced their contributions to humanitarian and educational support programmes for refugees.
UN warnings pointed out that these funding cuts could have long-term consequences for the future of an entire generation of children, as lack of education is linked to greater difficulties in building a stable life later on, whether economically or socially.
No precise breakdown of the scale of the funding cuts or the most affected countries and regions has been released so far, but UN organisations concerned with refugee affairs have frequently pointed in previous reports to growing gaps between the actual needs of refugees and the level of funding available to meet them.
This warning comes at a time when the number of refugees and displaced persons is growing in many parts of the world due to ongoing conflicts, placing additional pressure on humanitarian and educational programmes dedicated to this group of children.
