They work long hours in difficult environments. They're trying to help people in the worst moments of their lives. In the middle of today's funding crisis, they're also deciding who gets aid and who does not. In this episode, humanitarians and experts in mental health or wellbeing talk about what's driving high rates of burnout, how people can identify it and take action, and what organisations must do better to help their staff. Guests: Javid Abdelmoneim , international president of Médecins Sans Frontières Nancy Nyambura , regional staff counsellor at Médecins Sans Frontières Gemma Houldey , author of The Vulnerable Humanitarian: Ending Burnout Culture in the Aid Sector Got a question or feedback?
