New York, Sha'ban 10, 1437, May 17, 2016, SPA -- The United Nations will launch the first-ever humanitarian fund to provide education to children displaced by conflicts and disasters, Gordon Brown, former British prime minister and UN special envoy for global education, said Monday, according to dpa. Brown said the fund, which will be officially launched during the World Humanitarian Summit in Istanbul next week, aims to cater to the educational needs of the more than 30 million displaced children worldwide. Providing education to that many children will require 3.85 billion dollars over the next five years, he added. More than 100 separate funders, including governments, businesses and philanthropists, are expected to contribute to the fund, which is called Education Cannot Wait. --SPA 01:20 LOCAL TIME 22:20 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
