humanitarian missions
Helping disaster victims
Humanitarian missions are organized efforts to provide aid, relief, or assistance to people in crisis—typically after natural disasters, during conflicts, or in regions facing famine or disease.
Military forces, governments, and NGOs conduct humanitarian missions to deliver food, medical care, or evacuate civilians.
The term can also describe smaller-scale charitable work: She spent her gap year on humanitarian missions in Guatemala.
