The United Nations’ humanitarian information source on global crises and disasters has just rolled out a new feature — on mobile.
ReliefWeb, the specialized digital service of the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, has launched four mobile apps, each catering to the specific interests of its users.
Humanitarians interested in the latest updates on the humanitarian situation in a given country, for example the ongoing crisis in Aleppo, Syria, could download the RW Headlines app. Those who are more interested in the status of humanitarian funding appeals meanwhile, or in accessing situational maps and infographics of a particular crisis might be more suited to download the RW Crises app.
