International crises

Luxembourg has maintained its commitment to major humanitarian crises around the world. Thus, in 2023 the Grand Duchy made a total contribution of more than EUR 16.36 million to the humanitarian response in the Sahel, covering Niger (EUR 7.2 million), Burkina Faso (EUR 3.9 million), Mali (EUR 3.8 million) and Chad (EUR 1.1 million). In addition, the humanitarian crises in Ukraine and Syria remain priorities for Luxembourg’s humanitarian action, with amounts of EUR 6 million and EUR 4.9 million, respectively, allocated in 2023. Another priority for Luxembourg’s humanitarian action in 2023 was the humanitarian response following the conflict in Ethiopia, with a total contribution of about EUR 2.4 million. Other humanitarian contributions in 2023 were for the humanitarian crises in South Sudan (EUR 2.3 million), Afghanistan (EUR 2 million), Yemen (EUR 1.75 million) and Sudan (EUR 1.8 million). Luxembourg has also reacted to sudden crises such as the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, the floods in Libya, and the earthquakes in Morocco, Turkey and Syria, by making financial and, especially, in-kind contributions available.
