A humanitarian crisis (or "humanitarian disaster") is an event or series of events which represents a critical threat to the health, safety, security or wellbeing of a community or other large group of people, usually over a wide area. Armed conflicts, epidemics, famine, natural disasters and other major emergencies may all involve or lead to a humanitarian crisis.
There is no simple categorization of humanitarian crises. Different communities and agencies tend to have definitions related to the concrete situations they face. A local fire service will tend to focus on issues such as flooding and weather induced crises. Medical and health related organizations are naturally focused on sudden crises to the health of a community.
An ongoing or lingering pandemic may amount to a humanitarian crisis, especially where there are increasing levels of virulence, or rates of infection as in the case of AIDS, bird flu or Tuberculosis. Major health-related problems such as cancer, global warming typically require an accentuated or punctuated mass-event to justify a label of "crisis" or "disaster".

Listen to Cynthia McKinney interviews
Pause Cynthia McKinney interviews
Sorry, can't find any Cynthia McKinney interviews.
Cynthia Ann McKinney (born March 17, 1955) is an American politician and activist. McKinney was a member of the United States House of Representatives as a member of the Democratic Party, she served six terms as a member of the United States House of Representatives. In 2008, the Green Party of the United States nominated McKinney for President of the United States. She was the first African-American woman to have represented Georgia in the House.
In the 1992 election, McKinney was elected in the newly re-created 11th District, and was re-elected in 1994. When her district was redrawn and renumbered due to the Supreme Court of the United States ruling in Miller v. Johnson, McKinney was easily elected from the new 4th District in the 1996 election, and was re-elected twice without substantive opposition.
McKinney was defeated by Denise Majette in the 2002 Democratic primary. Some people believe she was defeated because of Republican crossover voting in Georgia's open primary election, which permits anyone from any party to vote in any party primary and "usually rewards moderate candidates and penalizes those outside the mainstream." Others believe that her defeat was due to her "her controversial profile, which included support for Arab causes and a suggestion that Bush knew in advance of the September 11 attacks."

IKTTOTW: Pole Shift - India Pakistan Floods Major Humanitarian Crisis!!
- Duration: 12:42
- Updated: 13 Sep 2014
The chief minister of Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir has told a TV news channel that his government was caught off guard by the devastating floods as it could not predict the magnitude of the disaster.
Omar Abdullah said his government did not have a "response... designed for waters of this level".
His government has been criticised for a delayed response, failing to provide regular briefings and insufficient rescue boats. The floods have killed more than 200 people in the state.
While waters are receding, some 400,000 people are still stranded in the state and food and water supplies are running low. Rescue teams have faced public anger and there have been isolated attacks by furious flood victims on rescue teams who have asked for armed escorts.
Mr Abdullah's interview with the NDTV news channel offers interesting insights into the functioning of his government when faced with an emergency.
Mr Abdullah admits that his "government couldn't respond in the first 24 hours as we didn't have a government".
"I had no government. I started rebuilding efforts with six people in a room. My secretariat, the police headquarters, the control room, fire services, hospitals, all the infrastructure was under water," he says.
"I had no cellphone and no connectivity. I am now starting to track down ministers and officers. Today I met ministers who were swept up by the floods."
Mr Abdullah praises the army for doing a "very commendable job under tough circumstances", and says that if the "people want to blame my government, so be it".
The Indian state has been often found to be slow when faced with natural calamities, but in recent years many state governments have taken proactive action to prevent casualties.

Disaster in Darfur: Conflict and Community in the 'World's Worst Humanitarian Crisis'
- Duration: 62:07
- Updated: 27 Feb 2015
Presented on October 8, 2004
Neal Keny-Guyer, Chief Executive Officer, Mercy Corps; Randolph B. Martin, Global Emergency Operations Director, Mercy Corps
"Increasingly brutal attacks by armed militias have forced approximately 1.4 million Sudanese citizens, mostly black villagers, from their homes. These militias have burned villages, looted, stolen livestock, and committed rape and murder. Nearly 50,000 people have died in Darfur over the past year as a result of this violence—and others, now homeless and scattered across Darfur's barren desert, struggle to meet daily needs. Some two million people are in desperate need of food and humanitarian aid, and the U.S. Agency for International Development estimates 350,000 people could die in coming months from starvation and disease.
On the ground in Sudan and other hotspots around the world is Portland-based Mercy Corps, a nonprofit organization working to alleviate suffering, poverty and oppression by helping people build secure, productive, and just communities. Its humanitarian work includes helping to fill basic human needs of food, water, and shelter while also addressing critical health care, education, and sanitation services.
In 2001, Mercy Corps chief executive officer Neal Keny-Guyer spoke before City Club about Afghanistan and Pakistan. On Friday, October 8, he'll share the podium with noted expert Randolph B. Martin, the organization's global emergency operations director who lived in Sudan for many years. Together, the two will explain the current situation: How are immediate needs being met and what's being done to ensure a better future? What elements complicate not only relief efforts but also peace-making itself? And among the challenges, what lessons are learned that apply to humanitarian work worldwide? "

EMC Chair 2015 | Panel Discussion: Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief
- Duration: 72:40
- Updated: 31 Mar 2015
EMC Chair Symposium on Maritime Power and International Security
March 25, 2015
The U.S. military is routinely called upon to assist the U.S. Agency for International Development in responding to major disasters overseas that threaten the safety and well-being of U.S. citizens, as well as those of other countries. U.S. Armed Forces possess a broad range of rapidly deployable capabilities that have proven critical to life-saving and relief efforts during complex crises, when other responding organizations’ capabilities have been exceeded or are unable to provide a comprehensive response given the magnitude of the disaster. This panel examines potential strategies, concepts, training opportunities, or organizational changes that the U.S. military sea services can institute to improve the efficacy of civilian-military humanitarian responses. When conducting humanitarian operations during major disasters, how can the U.S. military sea services work more effectively with the various actors in the humanitarian community? Are there any capabilities, training opportunities, or strategies that should be further explored to increase response effectiveness?
Moderator:
- David Polatty, U.S. Naval War College
Panelists:
- Rear Adm. Colin G. Chinn, U.S. Pacific Command
- Dr. Vincenzo Bollettino, Harvard Humanitarian Initiative
- Michael Marx, United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs
- Dr. Joe DiRenzo III, U.S. Coast Guard Atlantic Area Command

(Reuters) - Yemen's conflict is driving an already impoverished country towards humanitarian disaster, displacing tens of thousands of families and exposing many more to the threat of disease and malnutrition, the United Nations children's agency UNICEF said on Monday. The Arabian Peninsula's poorest state has endured years of unrest, but nearly two weeks of war between rebel Houthi fighters and pro-government forces - backed by a Saudi-led campaign of air strikes - has put millions of people in danger. UNICEF's Yemen representative Julien Harneis said "many, many children" had been killed in the fighting. Hospitals have been shelled and scho -

Imagine the context – a large-scale disaster occurs, the international humanitarian community responds. Dozens of actors arrive - different skills, styles, and accountabilities; NGOs, governments – national and local, military actors, civil society. They act differently, think differently, have different ways of working. Sound familiar? The international humanitarian community has developed a number of coordination mechanisms and systems, formal and informal, to address these challenges. But what can be learned from other sectors? What potential lies in understanding how emergency responders (fire, police, ambulance) approach multi-organisa -

While the world’s wealthier countries this week pledged $3.8 billion in new relief, that is inadequate to deal with the 4 million refugees from the battle zone who have sought refuge outside Syria, combined with 7.6 million Syrians displaced internally, and 12.2 million—half the country’s pre-war population-- considered overall to be in dire need of humanitarian aid—up from 9.3 million at the end of 201 -

Conflict Plunging Yemen Towards Humanitarian Disaster, Says U.N.
- Duration: 0:50
- Updated: 07 Apr 2015
(Reuters) - Yemen's conflict is driving an already impoverished country towards humanitarian disaster, displacing tens of thousands of families and exposing many more to the threat of disease and malnutrition, the United Nations children's agency UNICEF said on Monday.
The Arabian Peninsula's poorest state has endured years of unrest, but nearly two weeks of war between rebel Houthi fighters and pro-government forces - backed by a Saudi-led campaign of air strikes - has put millions of people in danger.
UNICEF's Yemen representative Julien Harneis said "many, many children" had been killed in the fighting. Hospitals have been shelled and schools taken over by combatants.

Coordinating for Effective Humanitarian Action: Lessons from Unified Command Systems
- Duration: 88:31
- Updated: 07 Apr 2015
Imagine the context – a large-scale disaster occurs, the international humanitarian community responds. Dozens of actors arrive - different skills, styles, and accountabilities; NGOs, governments – national and local, military actors, civil society. They act differently, think differently, have different ways of working. Sound familiar?
The international humanitarian community has developed a number of coordination mechanisms and systems, formal and informal, to address these challenges. But what can be learned from other sectors? What potential lies in understanding how emergency responders (fire, police, ambulance) approach multi-organisational coordination (often described as ‘Unified Command’)?
Can humanitarians learn something from these approaches, about how to coordinate various diverse actors in large scale disasters? What could we learn about information management and decision-making in these contexts? About working with different levels of government, not just in response but in preparedness or resilience phases?
This webinar explores the basics of Unified Command and consider the potential for humanitarians to learn from this approach. It is the third in a series and is part of ALNAP’s ongoing research on humanitarian leadership and coordination (http://www.alnap.org/leadership), which has suggested that humanitarian organisations should focus on improving their organisational structures and procedures to allow individual leaders, and leadership teams, to carry out their functions effectively, and that information management and decision-making, amongst other things, are crucially important for both single-agency leadership teams and humanitarian coordination structures.

UN Warns: Syria at 'Dangerous Tipping Point'
- Duration: 1:32
- Updated: 03 Apr 2015
United Nations aid officials are warning that The four-and-a-half-year old Syrian civil war has become an “unsustainable” humanitarian disaster that threatens soon to undermine the stability of neighboring countries such as Jordan and Lebanon.
While the world’s wealthier countries this week pledged $3.8 billion in new relief, that is inadequate to deal with the 4 million refugees from the battle zone who have sought refuge outside Syria, combined with 7.6 million Syrians displaced internally, and 12.2 million—half the country’s pre-war population-- considered overall to be in dire need of humanitarian aid—up from 9.3 million at the end of 2013.
“We are at a dangerous tipping point,” Antonio Guterres, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, warned donors at an aid pledging conference in Kuwait.
Meantime, the Assad government continues to block the vast majority of U.N. aid convoys that attempt to cross the lines of conflict on its territory, regardless of official agreements to let them through.
The U.S. official conceded that “as long as the war continues,” the gap” between humanitarian needs and relief “is going to grow bigger.”
And if so, the U.N.’s role may well become even more problematic as the number of Syrians fleeing the country is expected to rise, they said, to 4.3 million by the end of the year.

The two-day workshop allowed participants from 11 member countries of the RCM region, to discuss elements of a draft guide to effective practices on admission and stay for persons moving across borders in the context of disasters. The purpose of this workshop was to facilitate the deliberations about possible elements of a guide on effective practices that can assist immigration authorities of participating States in the application of relevant domestic laws and policies by highlighting effective practices that are mainly drawn from state practice in the RCM region.
It is expected that the results and recommendations of the workshop will be considered at the next RCM Vice-Ministerial Meeting in Mexico, June 2015, during which the Vice Ministers of Government (Vice Ministros de Gobernación) might adopt these deliberations and results as potential no-binding guides.

Sahana Disaster Management System - Humanitarian FOSS
Presenter(s): Tim McNamara URL: http://2010.linux.conf.au/programme/schedule/view_talk/50312 The Sahana Disaster Management System provides humanitarian relief to communities all around the world. This presentation aims to introduce the system to members of the local open source community and demonstrate how they can act to enhance the level of disaster preparedness through the promotion of local use and development of the system.A few case studies will be explained, providing participants a background of the system. This may include information from recent deployments, such as efforts to unite families the Myanmar and Sichuan earthquakes. An overview of its potential use by the US military’s Disaster Assistance Response Teams (DART), integrating footage and mapping from unmanned aerial vehicles may also be covered. The system provides a unique opportunity for networking specialists, gadget geeks and web developers to provide a. The presentation will move to a technical overview of how Sahana attempts to balance the needs of emergency manager who want as much data as possible within the constraints of a low-bandwidth and low-spec hardware in the developing world. This may include the use of the OASIS standard, the Common Alerting Protocol is used to maximise interoperability withAfter a technical overview, the speakers will explain how a local group of technical specialists and domain experts have converged for the benefit of New Zealand communities to form the New Zealand Sahana Cluster. The speakers will attempt to explain the process and any potential lessons from trying to integrate emergency managers into the open source model. The presentation will finish as a call to action. We will advocate for more software developers and networking specialists to get in touch to assist with the global effort. http://lca2010.linux.org.au - http://www.linux.org.au CC BY-SA - http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode.txt- published: 05 Dec 2014

Disaster in Darfur: Conflict and Community in the 'World's Worst Humanitarian Crisis'
Disaster in Darfur: Conflict and Community in the 'World's Worst Humanitarian Crisis'
Presented on October 8, 2004 Neal Keny-Guyer, Chief Executive Officer, Mercy Corps; Randolph B. Martin, Global Emergency Operations Director, Mercy Corps "Increasingly brutal attacks by armed militias have forced approximately 1.4 million Sudanese citizens, mostly black villagers, from their homes. These militias have burned villages, looted, stolen livestock, and committed rape and murder. Nearly 50,000 people have died in Darfur over the past year as a result of this violence—and others, now homeless and scattered across Darfur's barren desert, struggle to meet daily needs. Some two million people are in desperate need of food and humanitarian aid, and the U.S. Agency for International Development estimates 350,000 people could die in coming months from starvation and disease. On the ground in Sudan and other hotspots around the world is Portland-based Mercy Corps, a nonprofit organization working to alleviate suffering, poverty and oppression by helping people build secure, productive, and just communities. Its humanitarian work includes helping to fill basic human needs of food, water, and shelter while also addressing critical health care, education, and sanitation services. In 2001, Mercy Corps chief executive officer Neal Keny-Guyer spoke before City Club about Afghanistan and Pakistan. On Friday, October 8, he'll share the podium with noted expert Randolph B. Martin, the organization's global emergency operations director who lived in Sudan for many years. Together, the two will explain the current situation: How are immediate needs being met and what's being done to ensure a better future? What elements complicate not only relief efforts but also peace-making itself? And among the challenges, what lessons are learned that apply to humanitarian work worldwide? "- published: 27 Feb 2015

EMC Chair 2015 | Panel Discussion: Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief
EMC Chair 2015 | Panel Discussion: Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief
EMC Chair Symposium on Maritime Power and International Security March 25, 2015 The U.S. military is routinely called upon to assist the U.S. Agency for International Development in responding to major disasters overseas that threaten the safety and well-being of U.S. citizens, as well as those of other countries. U.S. Armed Forces possess a broad range of rapidly deployable capabilities that have proven critical to life-saving and relief efforts during complex crises, when other responding organizations’ capabilities have been exceeded or are unable to provide a comprehensive response given the magnitude of the disaster. This panel examines potential strategies, concepts, training opportunities, or organizational changes that the U.S. military sea services can institute to improve the efficacy of civilian-military humanitarian responses. When conducting humanitarian operations during major disasters, how can the U.S. military sea services work more effectively with the various actors in the humanitarian community? Are there any capabilities, training opportunities, or strategies that should be further explored to increase response effectiveness? Moderator: - David Polatty, U.S. Naval War College Panelists: - Rear Adm. Colin G. Chinn, U.S. Pacific Command - Dr. Vincenzo Bollettino, Harvard Humanitarian Initiative - Michael Marx, United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs - Dr. Joe DiRenzo III, U.S. Coast Guard Atlantic Area Command ***** Disclaimer: The views expressed are the speaker's own and may not necessarily reflect the views of the Naval War College, the Department of the Navy, the Department of Defense, or any other branch or agency of the U.S. Government.- published: 31 Mar 2015

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says the humanitarian crisis in Yemen has grown worse in recent days. He said on Thursday that families are struggling to fulfill their basic needs, including water, food and medicines. He reiterates that a UN-brokered process of negotiation endorsed by the Security Council remains the best chance to help get the country back on track.

Conflict Plunging Yemen Towards Humanitarian Disaster, Says U.N.
(Reuters) - Yemen's conflict is driving an already impoverished country towards humanitarian disaster, displacing tens of thousands of families and exposing many more to the threat of disease and malnutrition, the United Nations children's agency UNICEF said on Monday. The Arabian Peninsula's poorest state has endured years of unrest, but nearly two weeks of war between rebel Houthi fighters and pro-government forces - backed by a Saudi-led campaign of air strikes - has put millions of people in danger. UNICEF's Yemen representative Julien Harneis said "many, many children" had been killed in the fighting. Hospitals have been shelled and schools taken over by combatants. http://feeds.reuters.com/~r/Reuters/worldNews/~3/NjtQF-vbdr8/story01.htm http://www.wochit.com- published: 07 Apr 2015

Coordinating for Effective Humanitarian Action: Lessons from Unified Command Systems
Coordinating for Effective Humanitarian Action: Lessons from Unified Command Systems
Imagine the context – a large-scale disaster occurs, the international humanitarian community responds. Dozens of actors arrive - different skills, styles, and accountabilities; NGOs, governments – national and local, military actors, civil society. They act differently, think differently, have different ways of working. Sound familiar? The international humanitarian community has developed a number of coordination mechanisms and systems, formal and informal, to address these challenges. But what can be learned from other sectors? What potential lies in understanding how emergency responders (fire, police, ambulance) approach multi-organisational coordination (often described as ‘Unified Command’)? Can humanitarians learn something from these approaches, about how to coordinate various diverse actors in large scale disasters? What could we learn about information management and decision-making in these contexts? About working with different levels of government, not just in response but in preparedness or resilience phases? This webinar explores the basics of Unified Command and consider the potential for humanitarians to learn from this approach. It is the third in a series and is part of ALNAP’s ongoing research on humanitarian leadership and coordination (http://www.alnap.org/leadership), which has suggested that humanitarian organisations should focus on improving their organisational structures and procedures to allow individual leaders, and leadership teams, to carry out their functions effectively, and that information management and decision-making, amongst other things, are crucially important for both single-agency leadership teams and humanitarian coordination structures.- published: 07 Apr 2015

UN Warns: Syria at 'Dangerous Tipping Point'
United Nations aid officials are warning that The four-and-a-half-year old Syrian civil war has become an “unsustainable” humanitarian disaster that threatens soon to undermine the stability of neighboring countries such as Jordan and Lebanon. While the world’s wealthier countries this week pledged $3.8 billion in new relief, that is inadequate to deal with the 4 million refugees from the battle zone who have sought refuge outside Syria, combined with 7.6 million Syrians displaced internally, and 12.2 million—half the country’s pre-war population-- considered overall to be in dire need of humanitarian aid—up from 9.3 million at the end of 2013. “We are at a dangerous tipping point,” Antonio Guterres, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, warned donors at an aid pledging conference in Kuwait. Meantime, the Assad government continues to block the vast majority of U.N. aid convoys that attempt to cross the lines of conflict on its territory, regardless of official agreements to let them through. The U.S. official conceded that “as long as the war continues,” the gap” between humanitarian needs and relief “is going to grow bigger.” And if so, the U.N.’s role may well become even more problematic as the number of Syrians fleeing the country is expected to rise, they said, to 4.3 million by the end of the year. http://feeds.foxnews.com/~r/foxnews/world/~3/DYsYGFAD73M/ http://www.wochit.com- published: 03 Apr 2015

Regional Workshop on Temporary Protection Status and/or Humanitarian Visas in Situations of Disaster
Regional Workshop on Temporary Protection Status and/or Humanitarian Visas in Situations of Disaster
The two-day workshop allowed participants from 11 member countries of the RCM region, to discuss elements of a draft guide to effective practices on admission and stay for persons moving across borders in the context of disasters. The purpose of this workshop was to facilitate the deliberations about possible elements of a guide on effective practices that can assist immigration authorities of participating States in the application of relevant domestic laws and policies by highlighting effective practices that are mainly drawn from state practice in the RCM region. It is expected that the results and recommendations of the workshop will be considered at the next RCM Vice-Ministerial Meeting in Mexico, June 2015, during which the Vice Ministers of Government (Vice Ministros de Gobernación) might adopt these deliberations and results as potential no-binding guides.- published: 26 Mar 2015
