    Event Abstract: 

    The RSIS World Humanitarian Day includes a public panel discussion and exhibition to commemorate those who have offered their lives in humanitarian service and those in need of assistance, and celebrates the spirit that inspires humanitarian work. The panel discussion will tackle the current nature of humanitarian engagement including the evolving landscape of complex humanitarian emergencies and international disaster relief in the Asia Pacific. It aims to raise public awareness on humanitarian assistance and disaster relief in the region by providing a venue for exchange of ideas, insights and experiences from Singaporean citizens and permanent residents involved in the protection and assistance of vulnerable groups displaced by natural and manmade disaster. The exhibition provides a forum to meet academics, policy professionals and practitioners from the field of humanitarian affairs.
