UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Stephen O'Brien has warned that the world is facing the worst humanitarian crisis since 1945 with over two crore people facing starvation and famine in four countries. He urged an immediate injection of funds for Yemen, South Sudan, Somalia and Nigeria, to avert a "catastrophe". "To be precise...we need $4.4 billion by July," O'Brien said.
