AMMAN — In a speech delivered by former health
minister Saad Jaber, HRH Prince El Hassan bin Talal said that
humanitarian aid,
despite its active role, is not a solution to crises, noting that empowering
people, setting priorities, and planning are necessary to addressing different
issues.

The speech was given at the launch of the Arabic version of
"Reconstructing Lives: Victims of War in the Middle East and Médecins Sans
Frontières", a book by Vanja Kovacic, during an event organized by Doctors
Without Borders (MSF) and Jordan’s Culture Ministry on Thursday.
Prince Hassan said that MSF has provided
"comprehensive" medical support to people affected by natural
disasters, conflict, displacement, and other crises irrespective of race,
religion, creed, or affiliation.
The speech went on to commend the MSF's commitment to
assisting the vulnerable and marginalized, noting that the book
"humanizes" statistics and confirms that the psychological and
emotional losses in disasters and
wars cannot be numbered.
In the speech, Prince Hassan added that the book sheds light
on a multidimensional scene of suffering caused by conflicts and the effective
role of humanitarian aid in alleviating it.
