The IFRC is home to experts from around the world on the most pressing global humanitarian issues such as health, climate change, migration, disaster law and much more.
Access to IFRC leaders
We can facilitate interviews with senior leaders for comment on IFRC activities and priorities, as well as developments in the humanitarian sector.
