Have fun reading! And also, have good day! Read on to find out my opinion!

Hello! I'm rhetorical lute! Today, I will be discussing about International Aid! Have fun reading! Enjoy!

I think that yes, it can sometimes cause more harm than good because in 2023, there were 59 conflicts all over the world, which then made 305.1 million in humanitarian need and 123 million people were forced to leave their homes. That's why I think that it can cause more harm than it can do good.

One reason for my argument is that over the last 30 long years, mortality rates for children under the age of five have dropped by half, and infected diseases like smallpox and polio have been have been effectively eridacted. lots of five year olds have been having diseases. I wouldn't want that to happen to anyone, and I bet you wouldn't either.

My second reason is because Sudan is apparently the largest humanitarian crisis. After two years of incredibly violent conflict, Sudan is now the worldwide largest humanitarian crisis since records began, for a big potential for the world's famine in over 40 long eternal years.

My final reason is because many people worldwide are at risk as countries (Including the US) face face aid cuts at a time of importance and great need. people are endangered and need aid really bad. How bad would you feel if that happened to you? I bet you would really hurt and need help urgently.

If you agree with my standpoint, then please, let me know, even if you don't agree! Feel free to comment on my standpoints and tell me if you want more! That seems to be all from me. Have a good day!
