Africa: Why These 10 Humanitarian Crises Demand Your Attention Now

[ad_1] Geneva — Beyond Gaza and Ukraine, emergency aid needs are going unmet in these neglected hotspots around the globe. As the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine continue to dominate headlines going into 2024, it's important to remember the many other crises that are too easily forgotten by the media and neglected by aid donors - often just because of their complexity or their relative lack of geopolitical importance.
