To save costs, the UN Refugee Agency laid off 3,500 people.

Jin10 reported on June 17 that the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) issued a statement on the 16th, stating that many aid projects are facing threats due to a funding shortage, and the agency itself has to lay off 3,500 employees to save costs. In addition, hundreds of temporary staff at the refugee agency will also leave. These measures could reduce personnel expenses by about 30%. The refugee agency expects that by the end of this year, its available funds will be similar to what it was ten years ago, while the current number of global refugees has exceeded 122 million, nearly doubling compared to ten years ago.
