The number of conflicts in the world is at a record high, and over 300 million people are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance such as shelter, clean water, food and medicine.
The needs are enormous, says Minister of International Development Cooperation Benjamin Dousa (M) at a press conference.
This support goes to the people who need it most.
The money is channeled through Sida and goes to the 25 most urgent crises.
252 million kronor go to Sudan, 204 million to Congo and 151 million to Yemen. Myanmar, Syria, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Palestine and Afghanistan also receive support of more than 100 million kronor.
The support constitutes 60 percent of Sida's total humanitarian allocation for 2026. The money goes primarily to various UN organizations, but also to aid organizations such as the Red Cross.
