Strengthening services for NCDs in all-hazards emergency preparedness, resilience and response

Overview

At the end of 2022, there were more than 50 ongoing graded humanitarian emergencies across the world – 42 acute emergencies and 11 protracted emergencies – many of which are crises nested within crises, such as conflict in a context of drought. There were an estimated 35.3 million refugees, of whom 76% were hosted in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and a further 62.5 million people were displaced within their home countries. The average length of time for displacement is now 20 years for refugees and 10 for internally displaced people (IDPs).
