In this episode, we sit down with Sajeda Shawa, Head of OCHA in the UAE, to talk about what it actually takes to carry humanitarian responsibility without becoming numb to it.
We go behind the headlines and into the machinery most people never see — the coordination, the negotiation, the seven hours it can take to get aid onto a plane, and the hundreds of people working around the clock to make that possible.
We talk about the role Dubai Humanitarian plays as the world's largest logistics hub, how crises get prioritized when funding falls short, and why Sajeda believes there's no such thing as life-work balance, only prioritization and a support system. We also trace her path back to her mother and father, and what it means to inherit a sense of duty rather than choose it.
This is a conversation about proximity to crisis, objectivity, and what it means to act instead of scroll past.
