World Disasters Report 2006
Focus on neglected crises

Published annually since 1993, the World Disasters Report provides a comprehensive analysis of the world's humanitarian crises. It is a useful information source and training tool for disaster professionals and donors, politicians and planners, scientists and academics, journalists and community aid workers.

"The World Disasters Report provides humanitarian decision-makers with a unique combination of compelling analysis and original insights from the field. Its intellectual power has enriched UN debates"

Jan Egeland, United Nations' Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator
