A typical post picks up 74 interactions against 793K followers, an engagement rate of 0.009%. Measured over 33 original posts, its engagement rate beats 33% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 5.6K times each, and 1.33% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.702% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 57% of days. Most posts go out around 08:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 33 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 39% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 314 interactions, about 4.2x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #unga, #nepal, #actforhumanity.

Compared with accounts its own size

UN Humanitarian's engagement rate beats 33% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 55% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.009%, UN Humanitarian sits above the 10th percentile of the 204,798 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.024%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 204,798 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,879 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 08:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 08:00 UTC.

Formats this account uses

Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it

  • 100% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 39% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
  • Its average post runs 278 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.

These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

    The rules of war exist to protect civilians and humanitarians. Yet they are violated each day. Accountability is critical to delivering justice for victims and survivors, and deterring further violations. When the rules are violated, there must be consequences. #ActForHumanity https://t.co/t5DY6RMq6N

    Humanitarians go the extra mile. Sometimes across mountains, into the most remote communities to ensure no one is left behind. When people cannot reach healthcare, mobile health teams in Afghanistan bring healthcare to them. Watch how they save lives every day. #ActForHumanity https://t.co/ENXC9o9lkV

    Aid workers are being killed at record levels. "This is a stain. It's the normalization of violence against our community and we will not accept it." Concern is not enough. What we need is concrete action. @UNReliefChief's #WorldHumanitarianDay remarks: https://t.co/UNH0gGnd3c https://t.co/vbz48sFMXN

    So far this year, at least 8 aid workers have been killed in #Gaza. 185 were killed in 2025. Statements of concern do not protect aid workers. All parties to conflict must uphold international humanitarian law. Those who break the rules must be held to account. #ActForHumanity https://t.co/BOydlKpkBt

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 74 interactions against 793K followers, an engagement rate of 0.009%. Measured over 33 original posts, its engagement rate beats 33% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 5.6K times each, and 1.33% of those impressions turn into an interaction.

What is UN Humanitarian's engagement rate on X?
UN Humanitarian (@UNOCHA) has an engagement rate of 0.009%, based on the median interactions across 33 original posts from the last 30 days against 792,668 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.009%, UN Humanitarian sits above the 10th percentile of the 204,798 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
Does @UNOCHA have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 33% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
When does @UNOCHA post?
Most posts go out around 08:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.67 posts per day across the measured window.
