Iceland has a reputation for being one of the top ten countries that give the most foreign aid, and in 2023, it retained its position on the list. As soon as UNRWA launched its urgent appeal for Palestine, Iceland stepped forward and contributed around 0.53 million USD, which counts as one of the top contributions Iceland has made to the organization. For 2023’s foreign aid, Iceland donated slightly more than Luxembourg, securing a total score of 21.72 on the Principled Aid index. Iceland contributed the most towards development gaps, with a score of 8.93. Its donations in the global cooperation and public spiritedness domains were more or less equal, coming at a score of 6.02 and 6.77 respectively.
