aid workers
Disaster response volunteers
Aid workers are people employed by humanitarian organizations to provide assistance during crises—natural disasters, famines, wars, refugee emergencies.
They deliver food, medical care, shelter, and other essentials to affected populations.
The term encompasses everyone from field volunteers to logistics coordinators: Aid workers struggled to reach remote villages after the earthquake.
The work often involves dangerous conditions in unstable regions.
