The 2024 European Humanitarian Forum hosted a panel discussion on “Enhancing the security of humanitarian workers in conflicts and complex emergencies”.
It covers specifically the following key points:
- Discussion on the specific dangers humanitarian workers face in conflict zones, including targeted attacks and general insecurity.
- Presentation of various strategies and best practices to minimize risks, such as security training, risk assessment, and contingency planning.
- Emphasis on the importance of coordination among humanitarian organizations, governments, and local communities to enhance security measures. You can find our useful links to coordinate humanitarian support for aid workers on our website too.
- Suggestions for policy improvements at both national and international levels to better protect humanitarian workers.
