This first episode of The Crisis Analysis Podcast unpacks the potential impact of continued Black Sea escalations on food security in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The discussion builds on a recent regional Crisis Analysis report examining the food security risks facing the MENA region in the event of further conflict escalation in the Black Sea.
This episode’s guests are Varvara Pakhomenko, Senior Crisis Analysis Adviser at Mercy Corps, and Laila al Amine, Lebanon Country Director at Mercy Corps.
The Crisis Analytics Podcast dissects crises and how the international community is responding to them. In each episode, we examine a crisis and ask how we got here, what is currently being done to protect the most vulnerable people, and what humanitarian and development actors can do to respond more effectively.
