Humanitarian operations refer to coordinated efforts aimed at providing assistance and relief to people affected by crises, such as natural disasters, armed conflicts, or pandemics. These operations often involve various organizations, including non-governmental organizations (NGOs), government agencies, and international bodies like the United Nations. The primary goal is to save lives, alleviate suffering, and maintain human dignity. These operations typically include delivering essential supplies like food, water, and medical care, as well as offering shelter and support for displaced individuals. Humanitarian workers often assess needs on the ground and collaborate with local communities to ensure effective and timely responses to emergencies.
