ICRC: Water and War

This publication looks at certain key issues associated with water and sanitation in countries that are afflicted by armed conflict and where the ICRC is at work. The challenges are analysed from the point of view of the operational practice that has developed and become more professional as the years have gone by. The global changes referred to above will determine new avenues and solutions to be pursued to ensure that the ICRC’s response is still appropriate to the needs of the people affected by future conflicts.

The key issues include health, displacement, detention, urbanization and natural disasters.
