The U.N.'s refugee chief warned the leaders meeting in Davos that the global economic crisis is fueling conflicts around the world. Antonio Guterres told The Associated Press on Friday that rising food prices and growing unemployment are hitting those already at the bottom hardest. Guterres said existing humanitarian hotspots in Afghanistan, Iraq and Somalia aren't going away while new emergencies are emerging in places like South Sudan. He urged donors to increase funding to prevent aid for 500,000 people in the newly independent country from drying up.
