The Humanitarian Response Index 2009

from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract As the world continues to grapple with one of the worst economic crises in history, disasters, conflicts and emergencies have carried on unabated. There were over 230 ‘natural’ disasters and 28 major conflicts affecting more than a quarter of a billion people last year, all of which required international assistance. International efforts have failed to reduce the scale of internal displacement caused by conflict and the economic crisis is making the situation even worse, with its full effects still unknown.
