www.nfb.ca The act of triage is the ultimate humanitarian nightmare. Racing against time with limited resources, relief workers make split-second decisions: who gets treatment; who gets food; who lives; who dies. This impossible dilemma understandably haunts humanitarians like Dr. James Orbinski, who accepted the 1999 Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) as their president, and was a field doctor during the Somali famine and the Rwandan genocide, among other catastrophes. Having seen the best and worst of humanitarian assistance and of humanity itself, Orbinski embarks on his most difficult mission to date-writing a deeply personal and controversial book that struggles to make sense of it all.

It tells us the basic rules of the law and reminds us that respecting them is everyone's responsibility. www.icrc.org International...

There are currently an estimated 195 million children suffering from malnutrition around the world, according to the international medical humanitarian organisation Doctors Without Borders. The problem is compounded by the politics surrounding global food aid programmes, with critics concerned that supplies donated consist of nutritionally inadequate fortified corn-soy flours that fail to provide the nutrients young children need most. On this episode, we ask: Is the West dumping its substandard food on the developing world? Do international food donors really provide sustainable aid or are they actually part of the problem? How can the West really help the world's poor to beat malnutrition? Riz Khan - Junk...
