The UK government just issued a government response to the International Development Committee's report on "Humanitarian Response to Natural Disasters," which came out in Oct. 2006. The initial report provided a review of both the national and international response to humanitarian emergencies and disasters in 2005.
A Congressional Research Service report on "International Crises and Disasters: U.S. Humanitarian Assistance, Budget Trends, and Issues for Congress" was also recently released.
A European Union counterpart that describes humanitarian action, programs and funding is the Annual Report on humanitarian aid (latest April 2006).
A more comprehensive look at trends in humanitarian assistance is provided in the annual "Global Humanitarian Assistance 2006" (Nov. 2006), compiled by Development Initiatives.
For a purely financial overview of requirements, contributions, and what is still needed, see OCHA's Summary of Requirements and Pledges/Contributions by affected country/region.
