"It's not just our finances that are under attack, but it's also our morale and our legitimacy."

In a fresh season of the podcast, TNH CEO Tammam Aloudat, our new host, sits down with people who have something important to say about the future of aid. In this episode, he's joined by the UN's emergency aid chief, Tom Fletcher, to discuss the humanitarian reset, the need for more mental health support given "enormous amounts of trauma", and whether he should be the last white British man in the role.

Guests: Tom Fletcher, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, United Nations
