as posted by the channel

There are 345 million people in need of humanitarian aid across the globe. But humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher says the UN can only help about one quarter of them. The Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator sat down with Mehdi Hasan to explain how difficult humanitarian work is in what he describes as a world that is “becoming more transactional.”

Fletcher and Mehdi discuss the ripple effects from Donald Trump’s war on Iran, whether the situation in Gaza has gotten “better,” the severity of the situation in Sudan, and the UAE’s involvement in it. – plus, Mehdi presses Fletcher on whether Israel is committing war crimes in Lebanon.
