As Israel launches a new offensive in Gaza and impedes deliveries of aid, half a million Palestinians are facing starvation; Gaza is increasingly likely to face a famine. In Sudan, 12 million people have fled their homes and 150,000 have died in what the United Nations says is the world’s largest humanitarian crisis. Why isn’t the world doing more, and what can still be done?
“God knows, it’s a bad world,” said Martin Griffiths on stepping down last year as the United Nations’ lead humanitarian official. But does he see a way to mitigate the consequences of war and strife? He joins FP Live to explore solutions for the humanitarian crises around the world.
Martin Griffiths (Former humanitarian chief, United Nations)
Martin Griffiths was the United Nations’ under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief coordinator until 2024. He had previously worked as the U.N.’s special envoy for Yemen, has served in the United Kingdom’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and has worked for international NGOs like Save the Children and Action Aid.
Ravi Agrawal (Editor in chief, Foreign Policy)
Ravi Agrawal is the editor in chief of Foreign Policy and host of FP Live. Before joining FP in 2018, Agrawal worked at CNN for more than a decade, including as New Delhi bureau chief and correspondent. He is the author of India Connected: How the Smartphone Is Transforming the World’s Largest Democracy.

Health facilities were destroyed and staff killed in record numbers in conflicts in Gaza, Lebanon, Ukraine, Myanmar and Sudan
Last year saw more than 3,600 attacks on health workers, hospitals and clinics in conflict zones, a record figure reflecting “new levels of horror”, a new report has found.
The total is 15% higher than in 2023 and includes air, missile and drone strikes on hospitals and clinics, as well as the looting and takeover of facilities and arrest and detention of health workers.
More than a third of the attacks took place in Gaza and the West Bank, but there were also hundreds recorded in Ukraine, Lebanon, Myanmar and Sudan.
Leonard Rubenstein, the chair of the Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition (SHCC), which authored the report, warned that the rise comes at the same time as “attempts by perpetrators to limit legal protections for healthcare and civilians in war”.

«There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.» So supposedly said the Russian revolutionary leader Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. The diplomatic whirlwind that has surrounded US President Donald Trump this week suggests the old Bolshevik might have been onto something.
For the protectionist president, who promises always to put America First, has in recent days instead been busy bestriding the world stage.
He and his team have done business deals in the Gulf; lifted sanctions on Syria; negotiated the release of a US citizen held by Hamas; ended military strikes on Houthi fighters in Yemen; slashed American tariffs on China; ordered Ukraine to hold talks with Russia in Turkey; continued quiet negotiations with Iran over a nuclear deal; and even claimed responsibility for brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan…
