Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are everywhere and transforming the way we live. The availability of ICTs is also essentially transforming the humanitarian services by better addressing the needs of those affected by humanitarian crises. Therefore, this book strived to focus on areas that include connectivity and communications technologies for humanitarian services; ICTs in disaster mitigation, relief and recovery; humanized and inclusive education; technologies for the women, disabled and aged populations; IoT, big data and blockchain for humanitarian engineering; and the adoption of ICTs in humanitarian sectors.
