In Fiscal Year (FY) 2021, the lingering impacts of COVID-19 deepened humanitarian needs around the world, constrained response and assistance options, and complicated supply chains needed for disaster relief. Despite these challenges, USAID's Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA) responded to humanitarian crises in 84 countries. Through our implementing partners, the Bureau provided a record $8 billion in assistance and resources that reached tens of millions of people globally. BHA's responses in FY 2021 reflected the increasing complexity of today's global humanitarian landscape. In addition to the ongoing Syria and Venezuela regional crises, BHA managed seven large-scale Bureau-wide responses, including for storms in the Latin America and Caribbean region; crises in Afghanistan, northern Ethiopia, and Yemen; food insecurity in Central America; an earthquake in Haiti; and continued global impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
