 Fighting hunger on all fronts: AAH speak out in a new publication   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
AAH assert that each humanitarian crisis is complex and different and that in order to provide adapted, efficient and tailored responses to the needs that arise, it is essential to be able to accurately analyse the situations in which agencies operate and the true causes of hunger.
Most of this analysis comes to the same conclusion: hunger is used as a weapon against civilian populations who are denied the most basic of human rights, the right to food.
AAH highlight that their technical expertise and commitment alone are insufficient in such scenarios and that there is therefore a need to alert the wider public and call for international action beyond the humanitarian response to expose and oppose such crimes.
