relief agency
Humanitarian assistance group
A relief agency is an organization that provides emergency aid to people affected by disasters, wars, or extreme poverty.
Relief agencies distribute food, water, medicine, and shelter during crises: Relief agencies rushed supplies to the earthquake zone.
Major examples include the Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders.
The term emphasizes immediate response rather than long-term development.
