The Humanitarian Fallout of the Iran War By The New Humanitarian

The Humanitarian Fallout of the Iran War – Online, 8 April 2026
Time: 16:00
Location: Online
Much of the global conversation around the escalating conflict in the Middle East has focused on oil prices, shipping routes, and international politics — often overshadowing the human cost. The Humanitarian Fallout of the Iran Warexplores how the war is affecting civilians across Iran, Lebanon, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and beyond, where displacement, infrastructure destruction, and energy and food shortages are creating a crisis for hundreds of millions of people.
This online discussion, hosted by The New Humanitarian, brings together humanitarian responders and experts to examine:
- The human costs of the Iran war and risks of further escalation
- Challenges of delivering aid amid limited visibility, funding, and political constraints
- How global attention and media coverage often overlook the on-the-ground consequences
Speakers:
- Ali Latifi – Asia Editor, The New Humanitarian
- Arshad Malik – Regional Director Asia, Save the Children International
- Imane Assaf – Founder, Ahla Fawsa Lebanon
- Moderator: Annie Slemrod – Middle East Editor, The New Humanitarian
⚠️ Due to extremely limited internet access inside Iran, Iranian speakers may appear last minute or via pre-recorded remarks. Other panelists will speak live.
Join this critical conversation to understand what is being left unsaid in mainstream media and what it really means to live and work in countries bearing the brunt of the humanitarian toll of the Iran war.
