Minorities in situations of humanitarian crises 2016, para. 79

Paragraph
Paragraph text
Evidence indicates that minority communities may be more vulnerable to disasters, both natural and human-made, insofar as they may be both inadequately prepared for such emergencies, and disproportionately affected by them. Furthermore, experience has demonstrated that minority communities are also less likely to be equal beneficiaries of adequate humanitarian aid and/or rehabilitation when or after disasters strike.
