Addresses different perspectives on crises issues as it analyses aspects of contemporary emergencies and their impacts on vulnerable populations. The book discusses key issues affecting the roles that NGOs play in delivering their relief services such as their independence, cooperation with other organisations, and how they cope in war situations. The methods used by these organisations are also discussed and their impact assessed based on practical examples drawn from previous years. Further discussions include a review of the activities of the Red Cross and Red Crescent in relation to their codes of conduct and standards of performance.
