Global Humanitarian Overview 2024 Monthly Updates

By the end of the year, the 2024 Global Humanitarian Overview (GHO) required over $49 billion to assist 198.3 million of the people in need across 77 countries through 49 coordinated response plans. More than $4 billion in GHO funding was reported during the months of November and December, bringing total 2024 GHO funding to $22.58 billion. This is $800 million more than at the same time last year, with coverage of appeal requirements reaching 45.5 per cent.

Total reported humanitarian funding reached $32.04 billion, which is an increase of almost $3 billion compared to the $29.12 billion recorded at the same time last year.

The amount of funding reported in the fourth quarter of 2024 ($6.4 billion) was higher than at the same time last year ($4.1 billion), but lower than in the third quarter of the year ($6.9 billion). Last year, larger than usual amounts of 2023 funding were reported well into 2024. Given the concerning financial outlook for 2025, donors and recipients are encouraged to report all 2024 humanitarian funding as soon as possible to the Financial Tracking Service (fts@un.org) to ensure reliable and complete data for analysis.
