After decades of nonenforcement, international humanitarian law has lost purchase with many twenty-first-century combatants. The deliberate targeting of hospitals and civilian infrastructure has been a defining characteristic of Russia's air bombardment of Ukraine, Syria, and Chechnya, as well as in intrastate conflicts in Sudan, Ethiopia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. As a result, humanitarian health actors have been put under enormous strain, and traditional humanitarian strategies have not often been up to the task. At the same time, ethical imperatives to decolonize and localize health services are challenging the field's longstanding values and power systems.

The Spring 2023 issue of Dædalus takes a transdisciplinary approach to understanding the dilemmas facing humanitarian health actors, and to finding room for innovation in humanitarian health delivery. Recognizing that shared compassion cannot be proscribed but must be felt, the issue also draws on the power of the arts, and features paintings, poetry, photography, fiction, and creative nonfiction by artists whose lives have been shaped by violent conflict and displacement.
