Source: United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). Published: 12/4/2019. This 88-page report details how more people in 2019 needed humanitarian assistance than forecast, largely because of conflicts and extreme climate events. Emerging risks and trends include climate change, which is increasing people’s vulnerability to humanitarian crises; and infectious diseases, which are becoming more prevalent and harder to control because of conflict, weak health systems, poor water and sanitation, and lack of access to vaccinations. The report also discusses how conflict, disasters, and economic shocks caused food insecurity to reach crisis levels in 53 countries. (Video or Multimedia)
