Humanitarian interventions are actions taken by countries or international organizations to provide aid and support to people in crisis situations, often due to conflicts, natural disasters, or severe human rights violations. These interventions aim to alleviate suffering, protect vulnerable populations, and restore basic human rights, sometimes involving military force or peacekeeping missions. Typically, humanitarian interventions are guided by principles such as neutrality, impartiality, and independence. Organizations like the United Nations and Red Cross often play key roles in coordinating these efforts, ensuring that assistance reaches those in need while respecting the sovereignty of affected nations.
