Multilingual resources for global and disaster health by https://padlet.com/pcdebrun1/Multilingual_E4GDH In times of crisis, humanitarian workers need timely evidence which suits the local context within which they work, and they need to be able to communicate effectively across a range of languages. This guide complements our Finding the Evidence for Global and Disaster Health (http://bit.ly/E4GDHLeaflet), and contains a range of Multilanguage tools to support cross-working and overcome language barriers in global and disaster health. en-us 2020-01-24 16:34:09 UTC 2020-03-18 13:29:38 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f9ed.png Guidelines pcdebrun1 https://padlet.com/pcdebrun1/Multilingual_E4GDH/wish/435732165 Medbox: The aid library

Evidence Aid
This organisation uses knowledge from systematic reviews to provide reliable, up-to-date evidence on interventions that might be considered in the context of natural disasters and other major healthcare emergencies. Evidence Aid seeks to highlight which interventions work, which don’t work, which need more research, and which, no matter how well meaning, might be harmful; and to provide this information to agencies and people planning for, or responding to, disasters. Some of the content is published in French and Spanish.

• People affected by disaster or conflict have the right to life with dignity and, therefore, the right to assistance; and
• All possible steps should be taken to alleviate human suffering arising out of disaster or conflict.
The Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards put these core beliefs into practice. The Protection Principles inform all humanitarian action, and the Core Humanitarian Standard contains commitments to support accountability across all sectors. Together, they form The Sphere Handbook, which has developed into one of the most widely referenced humanitarian resources globally.
