INTERNATIONAL CENTER FOR JOURNALISTS  2024  |  The ICFJ chose Humanitarian Bazaar founder/director Daniel J. Gerstle as Health Innovation Journalism Fellow to support HB and Daniel’s long running work researching how to improve civilian self-protection in areas where international agencies and governments have not been able to keep them safe. With this fellowship, Humanitarian Bazaar primarily worked with Dar Productions to document the stories of how Sudanese medical teams saved lives on the front lines in besieged El Fasher, Darfur, Sudan. With the New Humanitarian’s support early on, the story series are now being published on Untold Magazine, 3ayin Sudan Media, and Humanitarian Bazaar Magazine.

As part of Humanitarian Bazaar’s Frontline Music project, Daniel J. Gerstle provided creative advice to Monzer and some of the musicians, calling in when they were pulling together the last heavy metal concert in Aleppo and writing about it for Rolling Stone.
