Emily Tripp

Emily Tripp is the Executive Director of the UK-based civilian harm watchdog organization Airwars. Before joining Airwars, she had a career in humanitarian response, living and working primarily in the Middle East, and managing data collection and assessment teams in highly volatile contexts. After taking over the leadership of the organization in 2022, Tripp has overseen the development of Airwars into new conflicts, including a substantive and on-going effort to document civilian casualties in Gaza. Airwars sits between the fields of investigative journalism, human rights, policy, and humanitarian response, with a mission to ensure that human lives are acknowledged, accounted for and better protected in conflict.
