Definition of humanitarian aid
What is humanitarian aid?
The concept of humanitarian aid comprises measures to protect and assist people in humanitarian emergencies (medical disasters, natural disasters, political conflicts, etc.). Humanitarian aid is carried out and financed by both governmental and non-governmental organizations. It can be used to provide acute relief after crises or pursue longer-term goals, but is usually limited to the former.
Humanitarian aid is based on the four humanitarian principles: humanity, neutrality, impartiality, and independence. They can be traced back to the principles of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, which were developed on the basis of international humanitarian law.
