- Summary:
-
Emergency humanitarian aid is provided in times of disaster or crisis. The most complex emergencies are those which occur in areas where there is disputed sovereignty manifested in armed conflict. Complex emergencies are characterised byt he collapse of socialinfrastructure, risks behond everyday life, indiscriminate as well as discriminate violence, and the extreme material, organisational and psychological vulnerability of those caught up in the emergency situation. The difficulties inherent in the design and delivery of humanitarian assistance are exacerbated by the need to operate in such an unstable, turbulent and insecure environment.
