relief workers
Disaster response teams
Relief workers are people who provide humanitarian aid during emergencies—natural disasters, famines, wars, or other crises.
They may deliver food and medical supplies, set up shelters, or coordinate rescue efforts.
The term encompasses both professional aid workers employed by organizations like the Red Cross and volunteers responding to acute need: Relief workers arrived within hours of the earthquake.
