An article by Professor David Southall addressing needs of pregnant women and girls, infants and children in situations of armed conflict.
Dr Rhona MacDonald writes in PLoS Medicine about the new ICRC campaign
Dr Rhona MacDonald describes the recent agreement of an armed group in Somalia to permit international organisations to provide aid to massive numbers of ill and starving people. The armed group makes it clear that there must be no "hidden agenda" over the aid given. Dr MacDonald references the recent alleged CIA led pretend immunisation programme designed to fulfil military objectives in Pakistan as an example of the potentially dangerous impact of hi-jacking humanitarianism. The article also stresses the importance of protecting health (including nutrition) during armed conflict.
Dr Rhona MacDonald describes the International Health Protection Initiative
