What are the most and least funded humanitarian appeals of 2023?

Late last month, the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs published a report on the level of funding for humanitarian crises. It showed that $54.8 billion is now needed to fully fund the humanitarian response — the highest level ever, and around $8.4 billion more than last year’s midpoint.

At the halfway point of the year, only $10.7 billion — around 20% of what is needed — had been allocated to the response, according to UNOCHA’s report.

This is the highest ever figure at the half-year point. However, the gap between the funding needed and the amount available was also larger than it has ever been, at $43 billion.
