This comprehensive guide from the International Federation of Red Cross (IFRC) warns that harmful information - including misinformation, disinformation, malinformation, hate speech, propaganda, and foreign information manipulation and interference - presents a humanitarian crisis, impacting responses to disasters, public health emergencies, migration, and conflict. Bringing together insights from nearly 100 contributors across 60 organisations, the report explains harmful information in humanitarian contexts; explains the dynamics of harmful information in a connected world; highlights voices from the humanitarian sector on the impacts of harmful information; explores community-first approaches to addressing harmful information; and much more.
