GHO

Global Humanitarian Overview 2026

The GHO 2026 presents an analysis of global crises and needs and the humanitarian plans to address them. In 2026, humanitarian partners are appealing for almost US$33 billion to assist 135 million people in crisis, with the immediate priority being to mobilize $23 billion to save 87 million lives. The GHO presents a collective picture of humanitarians' achievements and, conversely, what happens when humanitarians are unable to deliver aid.

GHO

Foreword by the Emergency Relief Coordinator

"This year’s Global Humanitarian Overview (GHO) is the latest diagnosis of the staggering scale of global suffering, the challenges we face in responding, the case for moral imagination and moral ambition ... It is our clarion call to the world, our plan—laser focused, stripped back, costed, rooted in solidarity but also reform, evidence and efficiency—to save 87 million lives in 2026."
