Humanitarian aid (n.) 人道援助（又稱人道救援）是基於人道主義（例如出現人道危機時）而對受助者作出物資上或物流上的支援，主要目的是拯救生命，舒緩不幸狀況，以及維護人類尊嚴。 「人道援助」與「發展援助」的主要分別，在於後者是致力於解決可能導致危機或緊急局勢的潛在社會經濟因素而發。Humanitarian aid is material and logistic assistance to people who need help. It is usually short-term help until the long-term help by government and other institutions replaces it. Among the people in need are the homeless, refugees, and victims of natural disasters, wars and famines. Humanitarian aid is material or logistical assistance provided for humanitarian purposes, typically in response to humanitarian crises including natural disasters and man-made disaster. The primary objective of humanitarian aid is to save lives, alleviate suffering, and maintain human dignity. It may therefore be distinguished from development aid, which seeks to address the underlying socioeconomic factors which may have led to a crisis or emergency. There is a debate on linking humanitarian aid and development efforts, which was reinforced by the World Humanitarian Summit in 2016. However, the approach is viewed critically by practitioners. [1]
