Characteristics of Humanitarian Assistance
a. Governed by principles of
neutrality (not take sides)
impartiality (based on need; not on race, religion, etc.)
independence (operate autonomous from government, economic, or other actors’ objectives)
b. Intended to be short-term in nature and provide for activities in the immediate aftermath of a disaster.

cooking utensils, etc.)– Emergency food aid (short-term distribution of
food)– Support services (relief coordination, logistics,
communications, etc.).
