International Rescue Commission Lists The Top Emergency Hot-Spots In The World

DW: International Rescue Commission lists emergency hotspots 

Every year, the IRC publishes its Emergency Watchlist. Globally, there are record numbers of people in need of humanitarian assistance — but there is cause for hope. 

The International Rescue Committee was founded in 1933, at the suggestion of Jewish refugee Albert Einstein, to rescue people from the Nazi regime. 

Today, the IRC helps victims of war around the world. For the last 10 years, the organization has published its Emergency Watchlist: the 20 countries at greatest risk of deteriorating into a humanitarian crisis. 

 Factors such as economic resilience, the intensity of conflicts, natural disasters and the displacement of people are all taken into account. 

The countries in the top 10 (in this order) are: Somalia, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Yemen, Syria, South Sudan, Burkina Faso, Haiti and Ukraine. 

Numbers 11 to 20 are: the Central African Republic, Chad, Lebanon, Mali, Myanmar, Niger, Nigeria, Pakistan, Sudan and Venezuela.

All of them are shitholes, the generational product of corrupt politicians. Didn't see the US southern border on the list, but maybe that more accurately represents a fustercluck.
