The primary objective of humanitarian aid is to save lives, alleviate suffering, and maintain human dignity. Humanitarian aid can come from either local or international communities.

It taps to the various members of Inter-Agency Standing Committee, whose members are responsible for providing emergency relief. The four UN entities that have primary roles in delivering humanitarian aid are United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the World Food Programme (WFP).
