What does "among other donors" in the last sentence mean? Does it mean "there are other donors which also make great increases" or "among the donors except the three largest donors"?

The three largest donors continue to be the US, Germany and the

UK. These countries accounted for 52% of all government contributions, although

contributions from all three decreased in 2018. Among other donors, substantial

increases were made by the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, providing an

additional US$1.7 billion (567% rise) and US$806 million (173% rise) in 2018, respectively.
