Governments donated over US$ 12 billion in bilateral humanitarian aid in 2005 – the highest figure since records began in 1970 (preliminary figures, Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, Development Initiatives (DI)).

Individuals gave over US$ 5.5 billion for survivors of the Indian Ocean tsunami – more than NGOs worldwide had ever collected in a year. Aid for the tsunami totalled over US$ 14 billion (DI).
