​DERF necessitated to impose restrictive assessments of incoming alerts due to financial constraints.

DERF is experiencing an overwhelming demand for support and has this year already received 9 humanitarian alerts leading to resources allocated for DERF being under heavy pressure. In order to ensure availability of funding for the full financial year DERF will until 1. July 2019 due to scarcity of resources have to carry out restrictive assessments of incoming alerts.

DERF users may still forward alerts but should be aware of activation of calls only will take place in the most critical and evident humanitarian crises.
