They can include armed conflict, epidemics, famine, and natural disasters. These crises are extremely challenging to manage because they are often large scale, complex, and unpredictable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Currently, there are 38 appeals<\/a> for humanitarian support including the illegal invasion of Ukraine, the ongoing conflict in Yemen where 15 million people are food insecure, worsening drought and famine in Ethiopia driven by climate change, and cholera outbreaks caused by the increasing instability in Haiti. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This fall we will be calling for strong Canadian leadership and commitment at the Global Refugee Forum for children living in emergencies, including access to quality education, proper nutrition, immunizations, and maternal health. This is a great opportunity for our new Minister of International Development Ahmed Hussen to engage on the global level.
