INTRODUCTION TO HUMANITARIAN EMERGENCIES

COMPLEX HUMANITARIAN EMERGENCY A humanitarian crisis in a country, region or society where there is total or considerable breakdown of authority resulting from internal or external conflict or disaster and which requires an international response that goes beyond the mandate or capacity of any single country.

IDP An internally displaced person (IDP) is someone who is forced to flee his or her home but who remains within his or her country's borders. They are often referred to as refugees, although they do not fall within the current legal definition of a refugee. At the end of 2006 it was estimated there were 24.5 million IDPs in some 52 countries. The region with the largest IDP population is Africa with some 11.8 million in 21 countries

IDP STATISTICS The largest IDP populations can be found in Colombia, the DRC, Iraq, Sudan and Azerbaijan each with IDP populations of over one million.ColombiaDRCIraqSudanAzerbaijan It has been estimated that between 70 and 80% of all IDPs are women and children.

THE CLUSTER SYSTEM Logistics (WFP) Emergency telecommunications (WFP) Camp coordination and management (UNHCR for conflict-generated IDPs and IOM for natural disaster-generated IDPs) Shelter (IFRC for natural disasters; UNHCR for conflict situations) Health (WHO) Nutrition (UNICEF) Water, sanitation, and hygiene promotion (UNICEF) Early recovery (UNDP); and Protection (UNHCR for conflict-generated IDPs, UNHCR, UNICEF, and OHCHR for natural disaster generated IDPs.)
