When disaster strikes, Australia launches into action, providing essential relief to aid the nation impacted.
When a 7.8 magnitude earthquake devastated Nepal last year, Australians donated $13.1 million dollars to the Red Cross.

Warning: this story looks at the sexual health of women in countries facing conflict, and includes graphic imagery.
