United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) is a UN agency responsible for organizing and coordinating aid during emergencies, such as conflicts or natural disasters. Its goal is to ensure that quickly and effectively, help reaches those in need, regardless of location or situation. OCHA works with governments, organizations, and communities to prioritize needs, coordinate resources, and avoid duplicated efforts. This helps to save lives, reduce suffering, and support recovery efforts in crisis-affected areas, ensuring assistance is well-organized and efficiently delivered.
