aid worker
Crisis response helper
An aid worker is someone employed by a humanitarian organization to provide assistance to people affected by poverty, conflict, natural disasters, or other crises.
Aid workers may deliver food and medical supplies, coordinate refugee services, or help rebuild infrastructure in devastated areas.
The work often involves deployment to dangerous or unstable regions.
Several aid workers were evacuated when fighting intensified near the camp.
