In 2017, appeal funding requirements increased by 16 per cent compared to 2016 levels, reaching $23.9 billion. Overall, the amount of funding received per person increased slightly from $98 in 2016 to $102 in 2017, but with significant differences between countries. For example, Senegal received $8 per person while Myanmar received $221 per person. The funding gap also varied between countries, with the humanitarian response plan for Iraq receiving 95 per cent of funding requested compared to 27 per cent for Djibouti. Seven inter-agency appeals crossed the billion-dollar mark (Ethiopia, Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan, Syria, Syria Regional Refugee and Resilience Plan and Yemen), an increase from four in 2016. Humanitarian needs in Iraq, Syria and Yemen increased despite a fall in the number of people targeted, reflecting an increase in the costs of humanitarian delivery in these areas. This year, the report also tracks the number of people in need in each country. Yemen had the highest number of people in need (18.8 million).
