Humanitarianism in the West Bank: Structures, Power, and the Limits of Aid

___

What does it mean to "do no harm" in a context where aid can both alleviate suffering and entrench the very systems that produce it?

In this critical conversation on the state of humanitarianism in the West Bank today, we examine what it means for humanitarian actors to operate within a broader landscape of occupation, violence, and structural injustice.

This event was moderated by Layth Hanbali, Researcher at Institute for Palestine Studies and PhD candidate, who was joined by:

• Tammam Aloudat | CEO, The New Humanitarian
• Matiangai Sirleaf | Nathan Patz Professor of Law, University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law
