In 2022, the United States government donated over 12 billion U.S. dollars in humanitarian aid worldwide. Germany followed with over three billion U.S. dollars, while the European Commission donated around two billion U.S. dollars. However, this only shows one part of the picture, as the largest economies are likely to be the largest donors. Another way of looking at the largest donors are by how much each country gave as a share of their gross domestic product.
