#ShareHumanity: The State of the World’s Emergencies
The Bond Humanitarian and Conflict Policy groups have produced a briefing for new members of parliament, designed to give an overview of some of the world’s most fragile situations and highlight actions which key influencers can take to ensure the UK government most effectively delivers on its moral and political responsibilities.
The basic humanitarian needs of people affected by conflict and natural disasters around the world are increasing. More and more people urgently require food, water, shelter and other assistance to survive, and new and ongoing conflicts force ever greater numbers of people from their homes.
The State of the World’s Emergencies draws on expert knowledge of people and organisations working in emergency situations overseas or working to raise awareness in the UK of the challenges faced by people experiencing humanitarian disasters, conflict and upheaval.
The report was sent to new MPs in July, and in the build-up to World Humanitarian Day on 19 August, Bond and a number of partners will be raising awareness of the state of the world’s emergencies:
· On 18 August, Bond is co-hosting a Twitter chat with DevEx, focusing on the key humanitarian challenges identified in the report. Please follow @bondngo to join the discussion.
· In the run-up to World Humanitarian Day, Bond and partners will share real-life stories of people across the globe experiencing humanitarian challenges, as well as joining in with the #ShareHumanity social media campaign.
