HUMANITARIAN CRISES
Supporting Those
Who Need Critical Care
Humanitarian crises present a critical threat to the health, safety, security, or wellbeing of a community spanning a wide area.
These kinds of emergencies often consist of armed conflicts, epidemics (and pandemics), famine, natural disasters, and anything that extends beyond the help of a single agency in the region. No matter what kind of disaster it is, survivors are usually left in urgent need of life-saving assistance including shelter, food, water, and health care.
The priority in any humanitarian response regardless of the kind of disaster is to save lives and reduce suffering by providing as much support as possible. How this support is achieved depends on what kind of emergency survivors are facing. For example, in armed conflicts and refugee situations, more effort is taken to protect the lives of the refugees and humanitarian workers.

In floods, hurricanes, or tsunamis, access to those affected can be extremely challenging, so each event must be carefully navigated in the most effective and expeditious way possible.
Each humanitarian crisis comes with its own set of challenges that must be responded to in unique and creative ways. There’s no one way to help. Other and less commonly known crises that still greatly affect people can include climate change, unplanned urbanization, under-development, and poverty, all which can contribute to humanitarian emergencies and make them even more complex, frequent, and severe.
