02Humanitarian data

Latest figure of each theme from the Humanitarian Data Exchange, with its year; 14 countries with data, synced 2026-10-23. The provider and licence of every dataset are on each country's data page. Source observations, not index values; a dash means HDX holds no admitted figure.
