Would an Improvement in Humanitarian Action Solve the Migrant Crisis?

Would an improvement in humanitarian action solve the migrant crisis? “Humanity is rallying to finally recognize that assisting is not a choice. It is a col- lective responsibility,” by Ger Duany.1 Over the last few months, millions of people have fled their homes in the Middle East, Africa and Asia, escaping from war, disaster, and other crises. The daily flow of men, women and children has become one of the largest refugee exoduses since World War II. Refugees or migrants are seeking asylum and a better life in the European Union, while travelling thousands of miles and facing many forms of dan- ger.2 “Global trends, such as climate variability, demographic change, financial and energy sector pressures or changing geo-political factors”3 are changing the human- itarian landscape. This article discusses the connection of humanitarian action and the current situ- ation referred to as the “migrant crisis” in Europe. Due to the newly faced circum- stances of human suffering, a reshaping of the way of delivering humanitarian aid is unavoidable. Humanitarian action is defined as “life-saving services, and [it] fa- cilitates the return to normalcy for people and communities affected by natural and man-made disasters.”4 It has to satisfy acute needs and face the challenge of ful- filling the demands to promote a “sustainable and resilient development”5 in cri- sis-prone countries.

Urban Refugee Economies: Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Urban Refugee Economies: Addis Ababa, Ethiopia i Abstract Over 60% of the world's refugees live in urban environments, but host governments often restrict their right to work, forcing urban refugees into precarious and often informal economy livelihoods. Through a case study of Addis Ababa, where refugees have no legal right to work, this research identifies the economic difficulties faced by urban refugees. Yet, it finds that refugee economies are highly integrated into the city’s economy, making significant contributions. The research points to opportunities for humanitarian sector actors to enhance refugee economies today and in the future when Ethiopia implements its pledge to enhance access to employment for refugees.

It offers a Master of Arts degree and a graduate diploma in Migration and Refugee studies, working with other AUC departments to offer diversified courses to its students. Its research bears on issues of interest to the region and beyond. In carrying its research out, CMRS collaborates with reputable regional and international academic institutions. The training activities that CMRS organizes are attended by researchers, policymakers, bureaucrats and civil society activists from a great number of countries. The center also provides tailor-made training programs on demand. CMRS outreach involves working with individuals and organizations in its environment, disseminating knowledge and sensitization to refugee and migration issues. It also provides services to the refugee community in Cairo and transfers its expertise in this respect to other international institutions.

WHO/HAC) Highlights - No 34: Monday, 8 November 2004
Health Action in Crises (WHO/HAC) Highlights - No 34: Monday, 8 November 2004 The WHO/HQ Department for Health Action in Crises aims to produce a running note on select current issues at weekly intervals. This note—which is by no means exhaustive— is designed for internal use and does not reflect the official position of WHO. SUDAN - Darfur Crisis - Assessments and events: • Throughout the Darfur, clinically diagnosed malaria still accounts for most mortality and morbidity reported through the WHO-instigated Early Warning and Response Network (EWARN). • In North Darfur, preparations have begun for the 21 November polio campaign. Service provision agreements have been established between WHO, UNICEF, and NGOs for certain Sudan Liberation Army (SLA) areas. • A gap analysis in West Darfur has highlighted a chronic shortage of health staff and facilities. ¾ Only four out of six hospitals are providing services. ¾ There is one surgeon and no paediatricians, obstetricians, gynaecologists, ophthalmologists, orthopaedic surgeons, or dentists. ¾ There is no transport (e.g., ambulances) in the health sector. • It is with great sadness that we report the death of Ministry of Health Surgeon Dr Ihab on 5 November during a hold-up on the Nyala-Kass Road, South Darfur. Actions: • In West Darfur, WHO rehabilitated the laboratory, blood bank, gynaecology, female surgical and medical wards of El Geneina State Hospital, as well as contributed a generator, electrical goods and furniture. WHO also provided inputs to six rural hospitals that—in total—serve an estimated population of 336,240. • In West Darfur, WHO donated 10,000 Rapid Diagnostic Tests (to assist in the diagnosis of malaria) and 11 Basic Emergency Kits (each meeting the needs of a population of 1,000 for a period of three months) to NGOs.
