联合国主要机构负责人联合发表公开信，向国际捐助者发出紧急呼吁，要求为全球人道主义应对COVID-19的供应系统紧急融资3.5亿美元 1。这一融资需求是在联合国秘书长于3月25日启动的COVID-19全球人道主义应对计划基础上提出的 1。该计划总需求为20亿美元，但迄今仅获得约5.5亿美元的资金承诺 1，资金缺口仍然巨大。
根据计划，世界粮食计划署将承担关键职责，包括建立国际集运枢纽、区域中转地和客运空运服务，为全球最脆弱人口提供物资和援助 1。此外，中央应急基金已释放9500万美元用于启动COVID-19应对工作 1。鉴于至少需要12个月才能获得疫苗 1，这一应急供应系统对于维持全球人道主义援助至关重要。
Leading United Nations agencies have issued a public call for international donors to provide emergency funding of $350 million for the global humanitarian response supply system to combat COVID-19.1 The appeal comes as part of the broader COVID-19 Global Humanitarian Response Plan, which was launched by the UN Secretary-General on March 25, 2020, with a total funding requirement of $2 billion.1 To date, only approximately $550 million in pledges have been secured, representing roughly one-quarter of the amount needed.1
The World Food Programme is among the agencies requiring additional resources to expand its operational capacity, including establishing international logistics hubs, regional transshipment centers, and air transport services to deliver supplies and assistance to the most vulnerable populations.1 The Central Emergency Response Fund has already released $95 million to initiate COVID-19 response efforts.1 According to the agencies' assessment, a minimum of 12 months will be required before vaccines become available, underscoring the critical need for sustained funding to maintain the emergency supply infrastructure during this prolonged crisis.1
