The UN's International Organization for Migration launched its first global annual appeal on Monday, calling for $7.9 billion in 2024 to manage the growing scale of population displacement.

"Irregular and forced migration have reached unprecedented levels and the challenges we face are increasingly complex," said IOM chief Amy Pope, adding the funding was needed to save lives, protect people on the move and find safe pathways for regular migration.
