	Humanitarian aid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Humanitarian aid is material or logistical assistance provided for humanitarian purposes, typically in response to humanitarian crises.
		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.
		Humanitarian aid is delivered by governmental and non-governmental aid agencies which are funded by donations from individuals, corporations, governments and other organisations.

	Aid Did You Mean aid (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Humanitarian aid is assistance given to people in distress by individuals, organisations, or governments to relieve suffering, during and after man-made emergencies (like wars) and natural disasters.
		Humanitarian aid primarily consists of the provision of vital services (such as food aid to prevent starvation) directly by aid agencies, and the provision of funding or in-kind services (like logistics or transport), usually through aid agencies or the government of the affected country.
		Development aid (also development assistance, international aid, overseas aid or - especially in the US - foreign aid) is aid given by developed countries to support economic development in developing countries.

	The War in Afghanistan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		This war may be largely concentrated in one part of the country, but it heavily affects the carrying out of humanitarian development programs throughout the country and that's because coalition military priorities may be undoing the long-term stability of the country as the ICG report suggests.
		Development agencies are reluctant to begin their reconstruction programs in large measure because of the absence of security outside Kabul.
		Evidently, the link between humanitarian relief and development assistance and the overall stability of the country doesn't seem to be fully appreciated.

	PARAMETERS, US Army War College Quarterly - Autumn 1996
		Events in humanitarian relief operations, such as the resettlement of a certain number of Kurds, or unanticipated incidents, such as the 3-4 October 1993 firefight in Mogadishu, can also mark the beginning of the end of US support for specific operations.
		Key events were the precinct-by-precinct fielding of elements of the new Haitian National Police force (HNP), the presidential election, and the inauguration of the new president.
		The events specified were the sequential assignment of members of the HNP to their precincts within Zone V. Accompanying reductions in US patrol activity did not depend on evaluations of the effectiveness of HNP operations.

	Provincial Reconstruction Teams: Military Relations with International and Nongovernmental Organizations in ...
		Civilian humanitarian assistance providers believe that they cannot allow their efforts to be perceived as part of the campaign plan of a belligerent force because the "humanitarian space" they need to perform their work will be compromised, and the lives of relief workers and those they seek to assist will be placed in jeopardy.
		International civilian providers of humanitarian relief and reconstruction assistance and the U.S. military should work together to establish a list of specified and implied tasks that the military could be called on to perform in support of relief and reconstruction operations.
		It serves as a non-binding reference for humanitarian practitioners and reviews, in a generic manner, the nature and character of civil-military relations in complex emergencies; lists the fundamental humanitarian principles and concepts that must be upheld when coordinating with the military; and proposes practical considerations for humanitarian workers engaged in civil-military coordination.

		Humanitarian actors continue to be faced with the challenge of responding to the needs associated with the return and reintegration of hundreds of thousands of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and refugees.
		As long as funding for humanitarian activities in West Africa within the CAP remain limited to food and -- to a lesser extent -- coordination and support services, the ability to ensure a proper and efficient response to a crisis, which has been threatening to erupt for several months, will be severely hindered.
		Recent developments in Guinea Bissau show that there is a serious risk of deterioration of the humanitarian situation as result of the combined effect of the structural emergency, ethnic manipulation for political purposes and a highly divided and interventionist military.

		There is the need for a private sector development program in Iraq, and it is not going to be like, for example, German reconstruction because the basic institutional structure is not there.
