Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, international non-governmental organizations were stretched thin responding to crises in Yemen, Syria, Bangladesh, and South Sudan and natural disasters around the world. With the coronavirus pandemic layered on top of these existing emergencies, how are humanitarian relief organizations responding, preparing and adapting? I put this question to Susannah Friedman, Humanitarian Policy Director for CARE, which is one of the larger global humanitarian organizations, with a staff of over 6,000 in more than 100 countries.  In this conversation she explains how the coronavirus is impacting CAREs work, and how CARE is adapting to it. This in includes an extended conversation about the unique affect this outbreak is having on women and girls in vulnerable situations.
