About reprioritization within the response plans
Considering significant global funding shortfalls, the Emergency Relief Coordinator asked humanitarian country teams to conduct a reprioritization exercise within their existing Humanitarian Needs and Response Plans (HNRPs). This exercise aimed to ensure that the most life-saving assistance reaches the most vulnerable populations in the most severely affected areas, particularly those living in an area classified as inter-sectoral severity levels 4 and 5.
This reprioritization does not represent a reduction in overall humanitarian needs and requirements. All needs and responses identified in the HNRP remain valid and urgent. The reprioritized figures reflect a subset of critical needs that need to be addressed first; they do not override the comprehensive response outlined in the full HNRP.
Should additional funding become available, responses will expand to cover all identified people targeted, as originally planned.
