In NRC’s now 80- year history, 2025 stands out as one of the most testing years we have ever faced. Record levels of displacement, driven by the continued escalation of wars and conflicts across the globe, were met with the most severe gap between humanitarian needs and available funding.
Nevertheless, in 2025 our 14,000 NRC colleagues managed to reach 10.6 million people living in conflict and displacement with humanitarian aid. In parallel, NORCAP teams worked to support the international community to better protect, aid and empower people affected by crisis and climate change, and IDMC teams generated evidence, strengthened capacity and galvanised action for internally displaced people worldwide. Altogether, these efforts represented vital glimmers of hope in crises across the continents.
