Original humanitarian news and analysis from around the world: the inside story on emergencies.

IRIN, the world's leading provider of humanitarian news and analysis, launched a new web platform (www.irinnews.org) that makes it easier for readers to gain the insights, news and analysis they value. The new website, developed by Manchester-based web design agency Bliss, is fast, with clean and simple design, and looks great on mobiles and tablets.

"It allows us to deliver more dynamic and visual content, on a range of platforms, as we continue to develop our storytelling," said IRIN Chief Executive Ben Parker. "We passionately believe that with the right combination of on-the-ground reporting and flexible content delivery, we can make more people care, understand and act on the many crises around the world."

These developments mark a bolder, fresher IRIN, as it celebrates its 20th anniversary and its first year as a fully independent news outlet.
