One such crisis has been taking place in Syria for the past ten years. To find out more, we speak to Zairulshahfuddin Zainal Abidin of Islamic Relief Malaysia, about the humanitarian mission they're running in Idlib and Aleppo, as well as the challenges that face humanitarian organisations, when operating in a warzone.
