The 10 Crises with the Largest Value of Shortfalls (US$)

(As at October 11, 2004)

These data show funding shortfalls of the WFP's relief projects with the largest shortfalls in $US. 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.

Although Indonesia had one of the largest shortfalls in 2004, it is not included here since the project was not set to start until January 2005. As of October 11, 2004 the shortfall for WFP's emergency operation in Indonesia was US$24.9 million (89%).

The figures in US$ represent the value of food quantities.
