schema:articleBody	The European Commission on Wednesday said it wanted to increase the impact of the EU's humanitarian aid efforts as the Covid-19 pandemic worsens crises around the globe. Brussels and the bloc's 27 member states together constitute the world's biggest humanitarian donor by providing around 36 percent of international assistance, just ahead of the United States. "Our humanitarian aid is facing an unprecedented set of challenges exacerbated by the ongoing pandemic," Janez Lenarcic, European Commissioner for Crisis Management, said. Demands for humanitarian aid rose to record levels in 2020 on the back of the coronavirus pandemic as the UN appealed for over 32 billion euros ($38 billion) to help some 235 million people. But there was a dramatic shortfall in international contributions and only 15 billion euros of funding has been provided, the Commission said. The EU's executive arm outlined proposals to speed up the delivery of aid, improve coordination among member states and pressure regimes blocking access for humanitarian workers. It said member states should weigh imposing sanctions on governments or non-state groups that impede the delivery of desperately needed assistance. "We will consider including serious international humanitarian law violations among the reasons for listing individuals and organisations on the EU sanctions regime," Lenarcic said. The Commission also insisted that more countries both inside the bloc and around the globe needed to stump up funds to tackle international crises. "It is disturbing how a very small number of countries and the European Commission are doing almost all the heavy lifting to fund humanitarian response," Lenarcic said. "In 2020 the top three donors, namely the United States, Germany and the European Commission provided almost 60 percent of humanitarian funding globally." Within the bloc, the Commission, Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands and Denmark account for 90 percent of its humanitarian financing. csg-del/rmb/bp
