In the first quarter of 2025, hundreds of cooperation and humanitarian aid projects came to a sudden end. How can ethics be ensured in the closure of a humanitarian project, even when it occurs unexpectedly? #humanitarianethics

Action Against Hunger alone faces up to USD 120 million in lost funding in countries like Haiti, Ethiopia, and Afghanistan. Across our sector, the impact could be even greater.

Evaluations of humanitarian action are critical to learning how to improve interventions, to demonstrating their value, and for accountability to the people and institutions we work with.

In 10 countries, U.S. aid funds over 50% of health spending; in 37, at least 10%. Trump’s cuts expose a risky dependence on foreign aid.

Under international humanitarian law, the Occupying Power must provide for the basic needs of the civilian population under its control. The rapid and unimpeded passage of humanitarian assistance must also be allowed and facilitated.

Evaluar la acción humanitaria es esencial para poder mejorar la calidad de las intervenciones, rendir cuentas a la población y las instituciones, y (ahora más que nunca) demostrar y defender el valor de lo que hacemos. Ahora bien... ¿Qué podemos evaluar exactamente?

Not so long ago, we only had 6 vaccines available: tuberculosis, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio and measles. Today we have 13 universally recommended, and 17 more, depending on the context. Yet, access to vaccination in humanitarian settings is still limited. Why and what can be done?

I took this picture in Lesotho in 2010 for the Global Fund. It depicts a boy born free of HIV despite both parents being HIV-positive. Even more, it shows the triumph of life over HIV/AIDS thanks to access to treatment, health system strengthening, and de-stigmatization. This is what they're cutting

For years, climate scientists have warned us. Now, the very people who calculate financial risk—actuaries—are sounding the alarm. Their latest report projects a 50% collapse in global GDP within decades... @forbes www.forbes.com/sites/we-don...

With the apparent dismantling of USAID, we are witnessing a turning point in how aid works. It wouldn’t be the first (and hopefully not the last). We don't know its full impact yet, but it’s already a big moment in the long, ever-changing history of humanitarian action.

Ahora que todo el mundo comenta por los pasillos (y los chats) de las organizaciones humanitarias que hay que explorar nuevas opciones y alternativas innovadoras de financiación, también toca preguntarse: ¿cuáles son?

Now that everyone is talking in the hallways (and the chats) of humanitarian organizations about exploring new and innovative funding options, it's also time to ask: what are they?

Muy sorprendido de encontrarme este artículo en El País sobre turismo en Dajla mencionando de pasada que es un lugar ocupado y obviando que en el último mes se ha expulsado a unos cuantos españoles de allí sólo por hablar con saharauis. En fin... elpais.com/elviajero/20...

I just did my best to optimize the page loading speed of saludeverywhere.com/en/. I've purchased a (slightly) better hosting plan, set up cache-clearing plugins and CDNs, compressed images, and removed (sighs) a slider from the homepage. I hope this will help improve Google's search ranking!

Ebola prevention doesn't mean that you go and buy an Ebola prevention kit. Ebola doesn't arrive shouting it's name and saying it's me, it's Ebola. What you support are healthcare systems with infection prevention and control that are open day in and day out, triaging and caring for patients.

Tras las imágenes de los perros comiéndose un cadáver palestino esta otra foto de un soldado israelí pisando un cráneo humano incide en el total colapso moral de Israel. Es la barbarie pura que yo pude ver en Ruanda, cuando los hutus exterminaban a los tutsis.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.
