OFDA Fact Sheet
OFDA Fact Sheet - 02-06-2019 (pdf - 2 MB)
When a natural disaster or conflict destroys cities, homes and markets, or when hunger and disease threaten to spread, people caught in the middle are simply looking to survive. Helping them is at the core of what USAID does every day, all around the world.
USAID responds to an average of 65 disasters in more than 50 countries every year, providing life-saving assistance to tens of millions of people including those affected by an earthquake in Mexico, Hurricanes Irma and Maria in the Caribbean, conflict in Syria, Iraq, and Nigeria.
USAID is also responding to the needs of the more than 20 million people facing severe hunger in Lake Chad Basin, Yemen, and South Sudan. We and our partners are delivering life-saving food assistance, emergency health and nutrition services, safe drinking water, hygiene kits, and relief items to help people facing famine in these countries, and elsewhere around the world.
