Humanitarian Challenge - The View From Scotland | S 2 Ep 16

8:44Val BrownGUEST
I think we are hugely grateful for the Scottish Government's Humanitarian Emergency Fund because what it allows us to do is to support people when they are facing just multiple vulnerabilities because the HEF funding goes to places where we are already working.

And the reason we work through partners is because we believe that they, and more so the people in poverty that they represent, best know what is needed locally.

And Gaza is a very good example of where our partners are clearly not distant responders, but they are people living in and with the affected communities, all of whom have been affected themselves.
