War’s humanitarian toll in Georgia

The World

Heavy fighting in the Republic of Georgia has displaced about 100,000 people. And that number could grow. After a week of heavy fighting, aid groups say they can’t reach thousands of vulnerable people in South Ossetia. Guest: Maya Kardava

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever! Every gift will be matched 2:1, so your impact will go even further.
