description Why does “Digital Technologies and War” deserve the thematic focus of an entire issue of the International Review. First, digitalization is a priority topic for humanitarian organizations like the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)1 because it is rapidly shaping how humanitarian operations and assistance activities are carried out, impacting how the humanitarian sector is serving affected populations. There is also a second reason why digitalization matters for the humanitarian sector.
