Abstract

In the relief operations of international humanitarian organisations, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) often encounter language needs when delivering services (Tesseur 2022). This project examines the language needs of humanitarian NGOs working in international disaster relief from Hong Kong and the solutions they adopted to overcome the language barriers when delivering international humanitarian aid to other countries.
