IFRC Annual Report 2019
2019 was a year of extremes. We celebrated 100 years since the founding of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), at a time when humanitarian needs have never been greater. Throughout 2019, the world faced interconnected and compounding emergencies, driven mostly by extreme climate related disasters and conflict, that resulted in highest number of internally displaced people on record.
World Disasters Report 2018
In recent years, Governments and aid organisations have made various commitments about ensuring that the world’s most vulnerable people are not “left behind”. But those commitments are not being reached. We estimate in the 2018 World Disasters Report that millions of people living in crisis are not receiving the humanitarian assistance they desperately need.
