food relief

Emergency meal distribution

Food relief is the provision of food to people facing hunger or famine, typically organized by governments or aid organizations during emergencies.

The term appears in contexts of disaster response, refugee crises, and poverty alleviation: Food relief efforts intensified after the earthquake.

It emphasizes the urgent, temporary nature of assistance rather than long-term food security programs.
