Humanitarian news for people who want to understand what is happening and how to help
AidWorkers.com is building an independent humanitarian news and crisis archive. This page is the starting point for regular coverage of conflict, famine, public health emergencies, disaster response, forced displacement, aid worker safety, child poverty, water and sanitation, supply chains and the practical work needed to support people living through crisis.
Every summary below is written to help readers quickly understand why a situation matters, what aid workers and humanitarian organisations are responding to, and where support may be needed most.
