Guterres claimed that such “troubling financial situation” is never faced by UN and expressed his concern over the same while saying “Our cash flow has never been this low so early in the calendar year, and the broader trend is also concerning; we are running out of cash sooner and staying in the red longer,” Fox News reports claimed.

Meanwhile, the head also found other ways to lessen the crisis and stated that some measures for the decrement of cost incurring will be welcomed in order to maintain the financial stability of the body.

Notably, the USA cut off the financial aid to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees but the same can’t be blamed as the country have already paid all dues.

Worthy to mention here that US is the biggest contributor to the UN and pays 22% of the budget.
