Volker Türk announced the UN Human Rights Office is in "survival mode" due to severe funding cuts, impacting its crucial work globally.The office faces an approximate $90 million shortfall and has cut around 300 jobs, while the broader UN launched a $47 billion humanitarian appeal for next year after only receiving a fraction of last year's request.These financial constraints drastically curtail vital human rights initiatives, including UN Special Rapporteurs' visits and dialogues, particularly in crisis regions such as Gaza, Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Colombia, Myanmar, and Tunisia.
