Global Humanitarian Aid System Faces Major Contraction, Leaving Tens of Millions Without Assistance

A new report, 'State of the Humanitarian System 2026,' reveals a significant contraction in global humanitarian aid, with contributions cut by 30% between 2022 and 2025. This has resulted in 64 million fewer people receiving aid last year, as funding shrinks and governments are increasingly responsible for endangering civilians, leading to worsening crises in regions like Yemen.
