Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says over 80 percent of humanitarian funding requested by the United Nations is going toward life-saving needs in a growing number of conflicts, and urgent action is needed to shift from perpetual crisis management to conflict prevention and solutions.

Ban's comments come in a report Tuesday to the General Assembly on priorities for the first World Humanitarian Summit in Istanbul in May.
