One year ago, on 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine and set forth an avalanche that has since affected the lives of many communities around the globe: displacement, hosting communities, rising energy prices, and food scarcity have made the headlines. We recorded this month’s D-VIEWS episode in April 2022, shortly after podcast host Hagit Krakov returned from a humanitarian deployment on the border between Moldova and Ukraine, witnessing the dynamics of international aid in war and conflict. Humanitarian law consultant Itay Epshtain, international humanitarian Naama Gorodischer, and frontline humanitarian worker Veronica Kovalchuk bring together the levels of legal concerns, organisational response, and individual experience. Also in this episode: how to integrate emergency relief and community development, humanitarian aid and development.
