The 10 Largest Crises
(As at October 10, 2003)
Source: World Food ProgrammeThese data show funding shortfalls of the WFP's relief projects with the largest number of people to be helped by the WFP operation. Although Afghanistan was one of the largest crises of 2003, it is not included here, due to lack of data on needs met and shortfalls. Tanzania, also one of the largest crises, is not included since the project was not set to start until December 2003. As of October 10, 2003 the shortfall for WFP's emergency operation in Tanzania was 100%
The data include only the hunger crises for which the WFP appealed for funding. The crises include both the WFP's Protracted Relief and Recovery Operations and Emergency Operations. They only include the WFP's ongoing operations, not those already completed.
The figures in US$ represent the value of food quantities.
