Egypt: IFRC Humanitarian Emergency Appeals and DREF Funding

This dataset tracks humanitarian funding requests and allocations for Egypt, managed by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). It documents Emergency Appeals for large-scale disasters and Disaster Response Emergency Fund (DREF) allocations for small to medium-sized crises. The records are maintained by the IFRC secretariat and were last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Evaluating the temporal distribution of international aid requests for Egyptian humanitarian crises

Strengths

• Official data sourced directly from the IFRC secretariat
• Covers both large-scale complex disasters and smaller localized crises
• Licensed under CC-BY-IGO for international humanitarian use

Limitations

• Unknown record count and schema details in the current metadata
