CARE Report: Suffering in Silence – Ten Most Underreported Humanitarian Crises in 2017
25 January 2018Members' publicationsNatural disasters and conflicts make headlines – yet with the highest number of refugees since World War II and with an uptake and intensification of natural disasters in the past years, many major crises do not receive adequate media attention. Media reporting is key to raise public attention, which is important in many ways: it helps raise funds, it applies pressure on governments to change political action and develop policies, and it amplifies the voices of the many millions who have been affected by deadly disasters and brutal conflict.
For the second time, CARE issued this report to shed light on forgotten crises which have received little to no attention last year. The report was launched in Geneva earlier this week by CARE Interim Secretary-General Laurie Lee, UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi and IRIN Director Heba Aly.
