But what does being political look like? On this episode: Flotillas and White Helmets, the difference between speaking out as individual humanitarian actors or as a unified collective, moving beyond simply being in “solidarity with communities”, and finding a diversity of voices to build a future version of humanitarianism. Guests:&amp;nbsp; Shatha Elnakib, faculty and deputy director of the Center for Humanitarian Health at Johns Hopkins University, and lead author of The Lancet’s article,&amp;nbsp;The humanitarian system: politics can not be avoided.
