IHH set up a stand at the event - which focused on financial models for humanitarian aid - to share its on-field experiences.

The first Humanitarian Finance Summit brought together Non-Governmental Organizations active in humanitarian aid, government officials from various countries, investors, and private sector representatives.

The AidEx and the Humanitarian Finance Forum-organized summit emphasized the importance of developing long-term sustainable financial solutions.

IHH Secretary-General Durmuş Aydın, who was a speaker at the event, explained that due to the escalating number of crises, disasters, and wars, “Traditional aid and grant models are becoming insufficient. The Humanitarian Finance Summit aims to introduce new financial and innovative models in this process.”

Aydın noted that the summit brought together public sector representatives, civil society organizations, and private sector institutions to discuss humanitarian finance models and new approaches. He added, “As IHH, we are attending this summit both as participants and exhibitors. Here is our stand. It is a significant event featuring experts in humanitarian finance from different countries, particularly the UK.”

“In a world where wars, disasters, and crises are growing by the day, we are discussing about how more innovative models can be developed to address financial crises and how more effective approaches can be created in collaboration with the public and private sectors.”

Aydın highlighted the recent humanitarian crises in regions such as Gaza and Sudan, which left millions of people being displaced from their homes. He concluded, “In this summit, we are focusing on how financial sustainability approaches can provide better solutions for people suffering from these hardships
