A Decade Documenting Humanitarian Crisis

Giles Clarke

'A Decade Documenting Humanitarian Crisis’ has taken photojournalist Giles Clarke to some of the world’s most pressing humanitarian emergency regions since 2016. Often traveling alongside the United Nations Office of Coordination and Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA), Clarke has focused on civilian lives shattered by war and crippling instability in places such as Yemen, Sudan, and Haiti.

“As a photojournalist covering humanitarian crisis regions, I have always felt the need to be in the presence of those who best understand the complexities of desperation and how to help those affected most effectively,” says Clarke.

“UNOCHA is the agency within the United Nations that assesses the depth of a crisis. By drawing on the support and expertise from other UN agencies, local partners, and NGO’s, OCHA creates the framework that puts an organised humanitarian relief plan into action. As a storyteller in this field, I believe a deeper understanding of the vast array of issues within each crisis is essential in covering these difficult regions”.

'A Decade Documenting Humanitarian Crisis’ is a glimpse into some of the most troubled areas of our planet today. As international funding for many emergency programmes declines, continued support for United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs remains critical.
