This report looks at the extent to which older people’s rights are being upheld in emergencies and their needs met. It draws on the findings of needs assessments
carried out by HelpAge International in the 13 months to the end of 2019. In total, we interviewed 8,883 people aged 50 to 80-plus affected by natural disasters, conflict or socioeconomic crises in 11 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East.
