This Global Humanitarian Overview 20225 is launched on behalf of more than 1,500 humanitarian partners. It covers 73 countries through 24 country plans, 9 flash appeals and 9 regional plans. The Global Humanitarian Overview 2025 is being launched at a time when entrenched, violent conflicts and the climate crisis are taking a tremendous toll on lives and livelihoods.
The Disease Outbreaks Data Project arose from the need for open, reliable information on pandemic- and epidemic-prone disease outbreaks, offering broad coverage of diseases, time periods, and geography, and ensuring statistical soundness for research purposes.
Natural disaster events include avalanches, earthquakes, flooding, heavy rainfall & snowfall, and landslides & mud-flows as recorded by OCHA field offices based on assessments in the field.
