Here are the new reads between 10 January – 16 January 2026 selected for this week’s The Friday Humanitarian Scan. I noticed that The New Humanitarian blocked parcing data from its RSS, not what I really appreciate, however I added their posts manually anyway 🙂
For this week’s Humanitarian Scan I used the following resources: UN News Humanitarian, Relief Web, and The New Humanitarian. My other go-to resources yielded zero inputs this week. Enjoy the reading!
