Scale of humanitarian impact

The scale of humanitarian impact measures how widespread and severe a crisis is, considering factors like the number of people affected, the extent of damage or loss, and the resources needed for response. It helps prioritize aid efforts by assessing the scale of the emergency—whether it’s a local incident, a regional disaster, or a global crisis. This scale ensures that humanitarian organizations allocate appropriate resources and support based on the severity and reach of the situation, aiming to effectively save lives and restore stability.
