JEDDAH: The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has said that the humanitarian assistance provided by its member states is much larger than what is mentioned in international statistics.
“The estimations indicate that the total humanitarian contributions made by the OIC’s member states in 2015 and 2016 exceeds $4.8 billion,” said Hesham Youssef, OIC assistant secretary-general for humanitarian affairs.
“We firmly believe that the humanitarian assistance provided was not reflected in the statistics because the top 10 donor countries do not include any of the OIC’s member states despite their generosity.”
