Humanitarian

The term “humanitarian” refers to a person or organization that is actively engaged in promoting human welfare and alleviating human suffering. Humanitarians are dedicated to addressing the needs of individuals and communities in distress, often in response to crises such as armed conflicts, natural disasters, or poverty. Their efforts typically involve providing essential services, such as food, shelter, medical care, and emotional support, with a focus on the dignity and rights of affected populations. Humanitarian action is guided by principles including humanity, impartiality, neutrality, and independence, emphasizing the importance of providing assistance without discrimination and prioritizing those most in need. The humanitarian sector includes various actors, such as non-governmental organizations (NGOs), international agencies, and volunteers, all working to alleviate hardship and improve the quality of life for vulnerable individuals.
