Overall, the United States consistently contributed the largest proportion of aid throughout the period, while the Netherland and Sweden provided the least. Notably, aid from most countries increased in 2010 compared to the two previous ones.

In 2008, the US donated approximately 21 billion dollars, significantly more than any other country. The UK and Japan each contributed around 12 billion dollars, while Germany provided roughly 9 billion. The Netherland and Sweden gave the smallest amounts, both under 5 billion dollars.

By 2009, aid figures from most countries remained relatively stable, or showed modest changes, with the US staying the lead donor at around 19 billion dollars. In 2010 however there was a general upward trend among most donors, with the US and Germany recording noticeable increases. In contrast, the Netherland and Sweden saw their contributions decline by approximately 1 to 2 billion dollars.
