Emergency aid

Emergency aid refers to immediate assistance provided to people affected by crises such as natural disasters, conflicts, or pandemics. It often includes essential supplies like food, clean water, medicine, and shelter, along with services like medical care and safety protection. The goal is to quickly meet urgent needs, reduce suffering, and stabilize affected communities so they can begin recovery. Emergency aid is typically coordinated by governments, international organizations, and NGOs to ensure aid reaches those most in need promptly and efficiently.
