The World Disasters Report provides comprehensive, expert analysis of key trends and crises facing the humanitarian system. What are the underlying causes of public health crises? Where will resources make the most difference? How can partnerships multiply the effects of aid interventions? The 2000 edition answers these questions. It examines chronic public health disasters, assessing and targeting public health responses, AIDS in Africa - from disease to disaster, Democratic People's Republic of Korea - where aid can make a difference, Chernobyl - cancers still rising 14 years on, Kosovo - the long road to recovery, surprise upturn in aid budgets, and steps towards an international disaster response law. It features a comprehensive disasters database, an overview of 1999 International Federation operations, and national Red Cross and Red Crescent society contacts. |
