The View From the World’s Largest Humanitarian Aid Hub – Dubai Humanitarian: Children Suffered Most From Global Crises in 2024

–  Over $137m of aid distributed to 106 countries from Dubai Humanitarian aid hub used by international organisations including UNICEF, IFRC, WHO and WFP

FULL RELEASE CAN BE DOWNLOADED HERE

DUBAI, UAE, Feb. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Dubai Humanitarian, the world’s largest humanitarian aid hub, leading efforts to provide aid to those affected by the crisis in Gaza, has released data from the Humanitarian Logistics Databank that reveals more than $137million worth of humanitarian aid was distributed to 106 countries during 2024.

2024 was marked by significant global crises, with the data demonstrating the heavy impact that conflicts and natural disasters have had on children. Underreported crises in Yemen, Pakistan, and some African nations have led to a quadrupling of children’s food aid to $19.6million and a tripling of education aid to $1.2million.

2024 in numbers

  • Health Aid: Nearly one-third of the aid, more than $40million, was dedicated to health.
  • Food Security Aid: The demand for food security products saw a dramatic increase, quadrupling from $5million in 2023 to $19.6million in 2024. This included 54.6million sachets of food supplements suitable for children from six months old.
  • Education Aid: There was an almost quadrupling in the demand for education aid, which increased from $320,000 in 2023 to more than $1.2million in 2024.
  • Shelter Aid: Almost one-third of the aid, totalling $31.7million, was allocated to shelter.
  • Water and Sanitation Aid: The demand for water and sanitation aid remained consistent with 2023 levels, amounting to $3.2million.

Giuseppe Saba, CEO, Dubai Humanitarian, commented:

“2024 was a year of unprecedented challenges for the world. From our Humanitarian Logistics Databank data we can see that it is children that were most affected. With our UN partners and other humanitarian members, in 2024 we supported the distribution of more than $137million of aid to countries across the world, but the enormous impact on the nutrition and education of children has been particularly striking.”

Walid Ibrahim, UNHRD Network Coordinator, added:

“Through partnerships with over 22 organizations, the UN Humanitarian Response Depot, operated by WFP, mobilised and delivered critical lifesaving support to major emergencies including Afghanistan, Gaza, Lebanon, and Yemen, as well as to ongoing operations in 65 countries worldwide in 2024. This significant achievement was the result of ongoing anticipatory action, team collaboration, and the vital commitment and support of our strategic partners Dubai Humanitarian and the UAE Government in ensuring timely aid is deployed to vulnerable communities when they need it most.”

The Humanitarian Logistics Databank was launched by Dubai Humanitarian in 2018 as a centralised platform designed to enhance the humanitarian community’s emergency preparedness and response by providing real-time data on humanitarian aid stocks and flows.

XTransfer and Ecobank Group Partner to Empower African SMEs’ Foreign Trade


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 February 2025 – XTransfer, the world-leading and China’s No.1 B2B Cross-Border Trade Payment Platform, and Ecobank Group, the leading private pan-African financial services group with unrivalled African expertise, have signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding of Cooperation (MOU) to roll out comprehensive cross-border financial services to Africa’s small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in foreign trade. The collaboration will facilitate trade between China and African countries.

XTransfer Partners with Ecobank Group

In recent years, China and Africa have continued to deepen trade cooperation, with the scale of imports and exports rising rapidly. In 2023, bilateral trade reached a record US$282 billion. From January to November 2024, China’s exports to Africa totalled US$160 billion, a 1.4% increase from the previous year, while imports from Africa reached US$107 billion, marking a substantial rise of 6.6%.

Despite this growth, African SMEs engaged in foreign trade face numerous challenges related to cross-border payments and fund collections. These challenges include difficulties in opening accounts with traditional banks, a high risk of funds being frozen, difficulties in foreign exchange and related losses, lengthy remittance times and high remittance costs.

The partnership between XTransfer and Ecobank Group will foster collaboration between both parties to provide comprehensive cross-border payment solutions for African SMEs’ foreign trade. XTransfer will leverage Ecobank’s extensive network across Africa, enabling its Chinese clients to collect funds in local African currencies while assisting African SMEs in making payments in their local currencies to negate foreign exchange issues.

Bill Deng, Founder and CEO of XTransfer, stated, “We are excited about the partnership with Ecobank. This collaboration represents a significant milestone for XTransfer and greatly enhances our global payment capabilities. Leveraging Ecobank’s extensive payment network in Africa will accelerate our business expansion in the region. We are looking forward to the synergies and opportunities this partnership will create. Together, we will drive innovation and improve the financial landscape, making financial services more efficient and accessible for African SMEs.”

Jeremy Awori, CEO Ecobank Group, said, “We are proud to partner with XTransfer to advance seamless cross-border payment solutions between Africa and China. This partnership builds on our established strategy, which includes a representative office in China and a dedicated China desk. By integrating XTransfer’s cutting-edge solutions with our pan-African payment platform, we simplify payments, reduce transaction costs, and enable African businesses to thrive in global trade.”

The partnership will facilitate trade between SMEs in China and African countries and also streamline foreign trade transactions between African companies and their global partners. Ultimately, this will help reduce the costs of global trade and enhance the global competitiveness of African SMEs.

This partnership aligns with Ecobank’s goals of driving financial integration by facilitating seamless cross-border trade, which is the backbone of the continent’s economy growth. By collaborating with XTransfer, Ecobank is strengthening its position as a key player in the global payments industry by reducing trade barriers, enabling African SMEs to thrive in international markets and contribute to the continent’s sustainable development.
