humanitarian corridors
Safe passage zones
Humanitarian corridors are designated routes or zones established during armed conflicts to allow safe passage for civilians, aid workers, and relief supplies.
They require agreement—often fragile—between warring parties to temporarily halt hostilities along specific paths.
The UN negotiated a humanitarian corridor to evacuate trapped residents.
The term also applies to legal pathways for refugees to reach safety through official channels rather than dangerous crossings.
