Humanitarian assistance is intended to “save lives, alleviate suffering and maintain human dignity during and after man-made crises and disasters caused by natural hazards, as well as to prevent and strengthen preparedness for when such situations occur” (Development Initiatives 2022). It is governed by the principles of humanity, impartiality, neutrality and independence. The number of people in need of humanitarian assistance continues to increase. Situations requiring humanitarian assistance are frequently complex emergencies, in which disaster, conflict and displacement occur simultaneously. Such complex emergencies have profound health effects. This unit will enable students to gain an understanding of humanitarian principles, theory and definitions, as well as an appreciation of the history of humanitarianism and significant events that have shaped modern humanitarian efforts. Emphasis will be placed on building an understanding of the global infrastructure for humanitarian assistance, such as international relief systems, roles and responsibilities of relevant actors (government and non-government) and the principles of international humanitarian law. Students will explore the health-related dimensions of humanitarian assistance, with an emphasis on the prevention and management of acute health risks during humanitarian emergencies. Students will conclude the unit by exploring challenges in humanitarian assistance such as political influences, workforce security, public trust, as well as chronic humanitarian crises and sustainable development.The aim of the unit is to give students a deep understanding of the continuing relevance of humanitarian assistance to public health.
