humanitarian crises
Large-scale suffering events
A humanitarian crisis is one in which large numbers of people are threatened with or actually suffer great harm.
Humanitarian crises can result from natural causes like drought, floods, or disease, or from human activities like war, genocide, or embargoes.
The people suffering from a humanitarian crisis are often without basic supplies of food, water, and medicine.
