Is Ukraine’s aid bonanza coming at the expense of other crises?

As near-record levels of funding fill the coffers of the #Ukrainian #aid response, #humanitarian insiders worry that resources may be diverted from other #crises that are receiving scant attention and remain badly underfunded – from #Afghanistan to #Yemen to the Horn of #Africa.

Numerous factors are contributing to the unusually generous outpouring for #Ukraine: the huge geopolitical significance and economic fallout of the #Russian invasion; the sheer speed and scale of the #displacement #crisis; not to mention the 24/7, wall-to-wall #media coverage.

But some also see double standards, even elements of #racism, in the lopsided levels of #assistance going to Ukraine compared to other crises raging around the world.
