‘Changing Ecologies of War and Humanitarianism: Reflecting on MSF’s 40 years of working in conflict’

Location: Issam Fares Institute – Auditorium

A two-day conference marking 40-years Médecins Sans Frontières’s (MSF) work in conflict, co-organized with the American University of Beirut. This conference will critically examine some of the contemporary challenges to humanitarian action across different war geographies within and beyond the Middle East. The event will bring together researchers, academics, and practitioners working in and on the humanitarian sector to reflect the changing conditions of warfare and humanitarian aid in light of the militarization of health care, massive population movements, and rapid regionalization of health delivery in present-day conflicts.

This event will be in English with simultaneous interpretation to Arabic
