Does giving international Aid cause any harm?

I think that giving international Aid does not cause any harm because giving international Aid is good for countries especially after war. Countries need to give them the money to repair schools, hospitals, and roads. Palestine is in war, people should give them International Aid to repair buildings, or to give food to the people in the country so they don’t starve. The same with Jamaica, people should support them and give the government money as they had a really bad hurricane

Sometimes countries in war do not need the support from other countries because they already have a lot of money and can just repair themselves. Sometimes International Aid can cause harm because countries can become dependent on it and not build their own economy.

International Aid is good as long it is being controlled and supervised to help countries to start to recover from emergencies but should not be relied upon as a permanent fix.
