Minorities in situations of humanitarian crises 2016, para. 85

Paragraph
Paragraph text
The Special Rapporteur does not suggest that an intention of direct discrimination by humanitarian relief providers is necessarily always the cause of differential treatment of minorities in the aftermath of disasters. Politically dominant areas may happen to be more accessible to points of entry for finance, materials and relief personnel, a situation often referred to as "tarmac bias".
