Sweden increases its 2024 humanitarian assistance by SEK 461 million.

This assistance will help the record number of people who are displaced, suffer from acute hunger, lack maternal health care and are subjected to gender-based violence.

It is distributed via @UNFPA‌ ,@UNHCRgov and @WFP.

Swedish humanitarian assistance makes a difference, where it’s needed most.
