The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.

Nepal earthquake response - updates LONDON, 27 April 2015 (IRIN) - The true scale of the disaster inflicted on Nepal after a powerful earthquake struck on Saturday is only now emerging. The number of killed and injured continues to rise and many remote communities have yet to be reached. As the humanitarian response takes shape, what is needed and what are the challenges likely to be? Read report online Why Nepal response will be so hard NAIROBI, 27 April 2015 (IRIN) - International aid is beginning to flow into earthquake-hit Nepal, but much more is needed as the scale of the disaster becomes all too clear. Access, capacity and bad weather are all hampering efforts to reach those in need. Read report online Why wasn't quake-prone Nepal better prepared? NAIROBI, 27 April 2015 (IRIN) - Nepal was known to be a major quake risk and yet nothing was really done about it. IRIN news editor Anthony Morland explains why the Himalayan country is so quake-prone and why the government has struggled to do anything meaningful to prepare for the inevitable. Read report online Health concerns grow in Nepal quake camps KATHMANDU, 28 April 2015 (IRIN) - Hundreds of makeshift camps have sprung up around the Nepalese capital Kathmandu in the aftermath of Saturday's destructive earthquake. Some people have lost their homes in the disaster. Others are simply too scared of aftershocks to move back inside a building. Humanitarian agencies say there is an urgent need to improve conditions in the camps and are warning that poor sanitation is a looming health hazard. Read report online Aboard Flight 652: Nepalese migrants head home to help KATHMANDU, 29 April 2015 (IRIN) - Nepalese migrants working in the Gulf are heading home to help their families and their country, in the wake of a 7.8-magnitude earthquake that hit on 25 April, killing more than 5,000 people. Read report online Can you hear me now? Why good communication is critical to the Nepal quake response LONDON , 29 April 2015 (IRIN) - As aid continues to pour into Nepal after Saturday's powerful earthquake, the need for clear information is becoming ever more stark. Imogen Wall, a communications specialist who has worked for various humanitarian agencies in several emergency responses, says a well-managed exchange of information can be the difference between an effective relief operation and misguided chaos. Read report online Aid agencies pour into Nepal - and then what? OXFORD, 29 April 2015 (IRIN) - In the immediate aftermath of a disaster of the scale of Nepal's 7.8-magnitude earthquake, the scramble by aid agencies to respond can easily descend into chaos.

[AfricaRealities.com] UN aid worker suspended for leaking report on child abuse by French troops

 

UN aid worker suspended for leaking report on child abuse by French troops

 

A senior United Nations aid worker has been suspended for disclosing to prosecutors an internal report on the sexual abuse of children by French peacekeeping troops in the Central African Republic.

Sources close to the case said Anders Kompass passed the document to the French authorities because of the UN's failure to take action to stop the abuse. The report documented the sexual exploitation of children as young as nine by French troops stationed in the country as part of international peacekeeping efforts.

Kompass, who is based in Geneva, was suspended from his post as director of field operations last week and accused of leaking a confidential UN report and breaching protocols. He is under investigation by the UN office for internal oversight service (OIOS) amid warnings from a senior official that access to his case must be "severely restricted". He faces dismissal.

The treatment of the aid worker, who has been involved in humanitarian work for more than 30 years, has taken place with the knowledge of senior UN officials, including Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, the high commissioner for human rights, and Susanna Malcorra, chef de cabinet in the UN, according to documents relating to the case.
