The Communication sets out the EU’s strategic vision for reshaping humanitarian action ahead of the World Humanitarian Summit in 2016.
“The World Humanitarian Summit takes place at a critical time as the number of people suffering from the consequences of conflicts and natural disasters is constantly increasing.
