What is a Complex Crisis?
==========================================

A complex crisis is defined by the United Nations as "a humanitarian crisis in a country, region, or society where there is total or considerable breakdown of authority as a result of internal or external conflict and which requires an international humanitarian response." More simply put, a complex crisis is when multiple challenges stack on top of one another -- when a natural disaster like a hurricane or public health emergency like COVID layer on top of violence, civil war, or political strife and breakdowns.

Conflict often leads to large-scale displacement which in turn causes malnutrition or famine, makes access to health care and medicines nearly impossible, and means delivering humanitarian aid is difficult and dangerous.

==========================================

ETHIOPIA
In the Horn of Africa, the challenges of the worst drought in four decades are compounded by conflict and COVID-19, leaving up to 25 million people at risk of food insecurity and more than a million children with severe acute malnutrition.

Project HOPE is providing health and nutrition aid to rural communities in Ethiopia that struggle to get the care they need. Our mobile health and nutrition teams are providing ready-to-use energy-dense food -- as well as essential medicines, vaccines and medical supplies.

UKRAINE
Scenes from central Europe have been heart-wrenching. Ukrainians are trapped without water, food or power. Almost all Ukranian refugees are women, children, and older people, so the risks of gender-based violence and abuse are multiplied.

Many older people remain in areas of intense fighting where they cannot get medical support for chronic health issues like hypertension. Having already delivered more than $4.7 million in pharmaceuticals to the region, we're working with both refugees and vulnerable people inside Ukraine to provide lifesaving medical care, protection and mental health support.

COLOMBIA
More than 6 million people have fled Venezuela -- many in urgent need of health care. Years of economic and political turmoil have led to extreme shortages of medical workers and supplies and a severe rise in maternal mortality.

Project HOPE first started working in Colombia in 1995 and today is working on the border to help the Colombian health system receive and care for the migrants, specifically focusing on those preparing for delivery and in need of pre- and post-natal care.

==========================================

None of us can address all of the world's ills, but with your help, Project HOPE provides health care aid and support when lives are under threat. We will remain committed to working side-by-side with health workers to heal their communities and strengthen health care across the world for the long run.
