Well the report is out for 2022 and here is what it says...
$1.02 billion was expended to help those in need:
Services Offered Primarily to Church Members
■ FAST-OFFERING ASSISTANCE, which provides temporary financial help to those in need.
■ BISHOPS’ ORDERS FOR GOODS, including giving food and commodities from bishops’ storehouses and Deseret Industries stores to those in need.
■ CHURCH OPERATIONS, including Family Services counseling, employment centers, farms and food-processing facilities, and Deseret Industries.
Services Offered Generally
■ HUMANITARIAN PROJECTS, including charitable relief in communities across the world.
■ DONATED COMMODITIES, including Church-produced goods provided to communities through food banks and other agencies.
■ DONATED CLOTHING, including discounted or free apparel given to Deseret Industries.

So the $1.02 billion headline isn't a cash figure.
The report doesn't give for comparison how much was spent on stipends and expenses etc for General Authorities.
In 2021 the expenditure summation figure was $906,000,000

It's all smoke and mirrors. And this ain't a 'church', it's a mega wealthy global corporation with hundreds of billions at its disposal. The 'church' is a very small appendage of the massive business it is and this 'church' gives a disgustingly small percentage of its income (less than 1% per annum) to humanitarian aid. Worse, they maintain tax-exemption for the fraud, sham and charade they are and then get a lot of its labor done for free on the backs of its members that they sell as 'service opportunities' who they tell 'stay worthy' while demanding 10% of their income to practice Masonry in the temples. There aren't words to describe an organization like that.

I wouldn't say tens of millions, more like 8 million (that's the last active # of members of the 'church' I've seen).
