Turkey has been much of the focus of the refugee crisis and now at the first World Humanitarian Summit the two day programme is hoping the talking and discussion will lead to priority action to meet certain needs of the crisis. Humanitarian funding is currently 12 times greater than 15 years ago. According to experts the costs can be curbed by reducing the need, which means a shift of emphasis from response to prevention and managing the escalation of risks.
