World offers 9% of finance required for humanitarian affairs in 2025
As of 30 April 2025, a shockingly small sum of $4.19 billion has been offered by the world’s countries, just 9% of the $46.08 billion required for assisting 188 million of the 310 million people in need across 72 countries.
Concerns of severely limited funding continue to impact humanitarian operations, with activities being scaled back. Humanitarian Country Teams are further prioritizing their humanitarian appeals and responses to ensure that the people with the most severe needs are assisted first. This exercise is part of a larger set of actions – the humanitarian reset – to prioritize urgent life-saving actions, including protection, and to streamline coordination.
