From Ukrainian exile to flood risks in Lebanon
Access to healthcare for Ukrainian refugees : Ludovic Joxe explores the lesser-known side of refugee reception in France, interrupted care journeys, administrative and cultural hurdles, and unequal treatment depending on individual profiles.
Aging in exile : Armelle Klein sheds light on elderly refugees, a largely overlooked population facing isolation, language barriers, and support systems that are often ill-suited to their needs.
Disaster resilience : Dima El Khouri investigates how flood risks are perceived in a Lebanese region grappling with multiple overlapping crises. Her study highlights the connection between intercommunity solidarity and shared vulnerabilities.
Through these on-the-ground stories and socially engaged research, En-Quête d’Humanité continues its mission: to foster dialogue between social sciences and humanitarian action, for deeper understanding and more effective response.
