Support independent journalism
The New Humanitarian is an independent, non-profit newsroom that has reported from the heart of crises and forgotten conflicts for 25 years. We work tirelessly to uncover uncomfortable truths and hold the aid sector accountable.
- Recently, our work has:
- Led to enquiries by WHO, IOM, UNICEF, World Vision, and others into alleged sexual abuse and exploitation by aid workers in Democratic Republic of Congo.
- Revealed how the UN was hacked and told no-one about it, prompting member states and human rights defenders, whose information may have been at risk, to demand explanations from the UN.
- Uncovered a multimillion-dollar aid scam in Democratic Republic of Congo, the UN vowed to thoroughly investigate any allegations of malpractice.
As COVID-19 has devastating consequences around the world, and misinformation spreads like fire, it is crucial that people have access to reliable information about crises.
We punch above our weight, covering crises with the kind of depth few other media outlets can match. But we’re a small newsroom, reliant on the support of our donors and readers.
