About this book

Examining the famine in Darfur, Sudan in 1984-5, and aid agencies' response to it, Alex de Waal claims that humanitarian aid can be made more effective by looking at the underlying causes of and local response to disaster rather than relying simply on providing massive amounts of food aid, which is often distributed ineffectively.
