At-a-glance

In the first six months of 2024, humanitarian needs in multiple countries intensified, while new crises hit others. Yet, despite rising needs and harrowing decisions made by humanitarians about who, and what, to include in 2024 appeals, funding is dire.

Humanitarians in action

Even faced with enormous obstacles—the humanitarian community has rallied to bring relief to people who need it most. Between January and May 2024, humanitarians were able to reach at least 39.7 million people with some form of humanitarian assistance.

Cost of inaction

Underfunding and access impediments combined to have devastating consequences, forcing partners to drastically reduce, and sometimes halt, programmes. The consequences have been hard-felt in the nine most underfunded crises: Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Haiti, Honduras, Mali, Myanmar and Sudan.

GHO mid-year

Inter-agency coordinated appeals

As of 31 May 2024, the Global Humanitarian Overview (GHO) requires $48.7 billion for 41 coordinated appeals. Donors have provided $7.85 billion to the GHO as of 31 May, which is 16 per cent of total requirements. This amount is lower that the average GHO coverage of 18 per cent over the past five years.
