With two devastating humanitarian disasters, 2010 has been a particularly challenging year.
2010 var et spesielt år, med to ekstreme humanitære katastrofer.
In Haiti, almost a quarter of a million people lost their lives when the earthquake struck.
På Haiti mistet nesten en kvart million mennesker livet da jordskjelvet rammet.

Store deler av hovedstaden og landets infrastruktur ble lagt i grus.

In addition, 2010 was a year beset by a number of other crises, both natural and man-made.
I tillegg var 2010 preget av en rekke andre kriser, både natur- og menneskeskapte.
Several of these have had little media coverage.
Flere av disse blir sjelden omtalt i media.
“Many crises occur in countries that lack the resources and capacity to deal with them.
- Mange kriser skjer i land med manglende ressurser og evne til å håndtere disse.
These countries are dependent on having well-functioning international humanitarian emergency response mechanisms that can be mobilised rapidly to provide emergency relief and alleviate human suffering.
De er avhengig av et fungerende internasjonalt humanitært nødhjelpsapparat, som raskt kan settes inn for å gi nødhjelp og redusere menneskelige lidelser.
The UN plays a key role in the coordination of humanitarian assistance, and the International Emergency Response Fund (CERF) is the most important joint financing mechanism to this end,” Mr Støre said.
FN har en sentral koordineringsrolle og det internasjonale nødhjelpsfondet – CERF – er den viktigste felles finansieringsmekanismen for dette formålet, sier Støre.
The Fund was established in 2006, and has since then paid out more than USD 1.9 billion in total to 79 countries affected by humanitarian disasters.
Fondet ble etablert i 2006 og har siden den gang til sammen utbetalt mer enn USD 1,9 milliarder til humanitære kriser i 79 land.
So far this year, CERF has provided a total of USD 260 million to 34 countries affected by acute crises, and a total of USD 139 million to 17 countries experiencing protracted crises that are often overlooked.
Så langt i 2010 i år har CERF utbetalt til sammen USD 260 millioner til akutte kriser i 34 land og 139 millioner til 17 land med mer langsiktige og ofte glemte kriser.
Due to a lack of international attention, many countries struggle to finance their emergency relief efforts, and the CERF funds are used to cover their most pressing needs.
Som følge av manglende internasjonal oppmerksomhet, sliter mange land med å få finansiert sine nødhjelpsbehov og CERF-midler brukes for å dekke de mest akutte behov.
“Time is critical when it comes to saving lives and alleviating human suffering, and CERF has shown itself to be the most effective mechanism we have for mobilising a rapid humanitarian response,” Foreign Minister Støre commented.
- Tid er kritisk for å redde liv og redusere humanitære lidelser og CERF- mekanismen har vist seg som den mest effektive for å igangsette rask humanitær respons, sier utenriksminister Støre.
“We must be prepared for new humanitarian disasters in 2011.
- Vi må være beredt på nye katastrofer i 2011.
Norway is a leading humanitarian actor on the global stage.
Norge er en ledende humanitær aktør globalt.
Being at the forefront by providing substantial support for CERF is a natural part of our engagement in this area,” Mr Støre said.
En naturlig del av dette engasjementet er at vi er et foregangsland med omfattende støtte til CERF, sier utenriksministeren.
During a period in which a number of donor countries have reduced their contributions to CERF due to the financial crisis, Norway has increased its support for the Fund.
I en periode med finanskrise hvor flere giverland har redusert sine bidrag, har Norge økt støtten til CERF.
In January this year Norway paid NOK 325 million into the Fund, and now at the end of the year this amount is being supplemented by an additional NOK 50 million.
I januar i år utbetalte Norge 325 millioner kroner og nå på slutten av året økes dette med 50 millioner kroner.
