ReliefWeb is your source for timely, reliable and relevant humanitarian information and analysis.

Our goal is to help you make sense of humanitarian crises worldwide. To do this, we scan the websites of international and non-governmental organizations, governments, research institutions and the media for news, reports, press releases, appeals, policy documents, analysis and maps related to humanitarian emergencies worldwide. We then ensure the most relevant content is available on ReliefWeb, or delivered through your preferred channel (RSS, e-mail, mobile phone, Twitter or Facebook).

In addition, ReliefWeb produces maps and infographics to illustrate and explain humanitarian crises. To ensure ReliefWeb is updated around the clock, we maintain offices in three different time zones: Kobe (Japan), Geneva (Switzerland) and New York (USA). Wherever you are in the world, you can follow ReliefWeb on Facebook and Twitter, where we highlight important humanitarian issues, post updates on our operations and outline our staff members’ professional activities.
