Zakat plays a significant role in addressing the global refugee crisis. Global Islamic philanthropic institutions, acting as partners, are expected to assist the work of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

In 2021, UNHCR received over US$23.6 million (approximately Rp330 billion) in zakat donations from its global partners.

Over the past year, UNHCR has distributed zakat funds to 134,432 families across various countries. Yemen received the largest amount, with 49,016 families benefiting.

The seven-year civil war in Yemen has caused widespread famine, with an estimated child death every 10 minutes.

Following Yemen, Bangladesh received the most zakat funds, benefiting 43,478 families. Lebanon received aid for 20,225 families, Jordan for 15,056 families, and India for 1,913 families.
