Dealing effectively with disasters in a conflict situation

Dealing with hazards such as floods, earthquakes and droughts is never easy. Dealing with them in a situation of conflict causes complications which makes it even more difficult to solve them.

In this short video, Professor Thea Hilhorst describes a project she and her colleagues are involved in which follows Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh.

  • How do you deal with a disaster when there's a conflict going on?
  • How do disasters affect the conflict dynamics?
  • How are local partners involved in dealing with the stream of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh?

Falling under the Conflict and Peace research theme, this film looks at the relationship between local and international organizations involved in the Rohingya crisis.
