This paper explores issues of humanitarian crises and older people, from globally agreed principles of social and civil practice to statistics of present and future needs, key problems faced by older people, their capacities and contributions in emergencies, and gender dimensions of their needs. It covers the results of research on how the humanitarian community can reduce the vulnerability associated with ageing and how it can enhance the capacities and contribution of older people in emergencies.
