Update of the Global Humanitarian Overview: US$ 43 billion funding gap in the Humanitarian Space

As of mid-June 2023, the Global Humanitarian Overview requires $54.8 billion to assist 249 million of the 362 million people in need. The GHO is made up of 26 Humanitarian Response Plans (HRP), nine regional plans, five Flash Appeals, and other types of plans. Requirements this year are around $8.4 billion more compared to the mid-year point in 2022, representing an increase of 18 per cent, which is smaller than the almost 30 per cent increase experienced in the first semester of 2022.
