SYSTEM FAILURES: David Miliband on Global Crises: Gaza, DRC, Sudan, Ukraine

He was the UK Foreign Secretary from 2007 to 2010.

In September 2010, Miliband narrowly lost the Labour leadership election to his brother Ed. 

• On 29 September 2010, he announced that to avoid "constant comparison" with his brother, and because of the "perpetual, distracting and destructive attempts to find division where there is none, and splits where they don't exist, all to the detriment of the party's cause", he would not stand for the Shadow Cabinet.
• He was given the nickname "Brains" by Alastair Campbell, after the Thunderbirds character.

Miliband became the president and CEO of the International Rescue Committee on 1 September 2013. At the IRC, Miliband has been overseeing humanitarian aid and development programs in 40 countries, a global staff of 12,000 and 1,300 volunteers, and an annual budget of $450 million

The International Rescue Committee president discusses the urgent international responses required for ongoing emergencies.

In this episode, we explore the essential role of non-governmental organizations in confronting global emergencies.

The International Rescue Committee, initiated by Albert Einstein, is known for its impactful work.

The organization delivers aid and hope to at-risk populations in conflict zones, notably Gaza, marked as the most hazardous area for civilians and aid workers.

Amid turmoil in Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Ukraine, David Miliband, president of the International Rescue Committee, talks to Al Jazeera.
