Does giving international aid sometimes cause more harm than good?

International aid is when one country gives to another but it can sometimes cause harm. This is why I’m writing this! In my opinion, I feel it can cause harm but it can also be very helpful. Can it be harmful?
One important reason I think aid can be helpful is it can save people from wars, poverty, earthquakes, diseases and many other natural disasters. Aid is very important and it really does help but it can also not work very well, hopefully that will not happen anymore.
After these natural disasters, aid helps to rebuild important things everyone needs to survive. Making these benefits basically repays the country that’s vulnerable and in need.
But it can also make countries just rely on one country for everything and not do anything for themselves at all. To be honest, it may also not get there in time and the situation may get worse why the help is on the way.
Another reason why international aid can cause harm is it can cause arguments between one county to another as one country can find out you are helping and come for you next. To be fair, if it all works out the other country will not find out that someone’s helping and maybe stop the war and all wars in the whole world can stop and everyone can come together as friends and be nice. But unfortunately, that will not happen.
However, harm is caused all the time sometimes not on purpose some on purpose. Natural disasters in the world can not be on purpose for example wars are unfortunate but they are on purpose so they could be stopped but people do not listen. Not all wars can be fixed. This is making aid workers work harder and very stressed but just with some kind people they can be done and over with. I know about a war going on now between America and Israel against Iran and Dubai. America is using England’s air bases for storage and to recharge.
Overall, international aid is harmful when many things go wrong. It can be solved easily just be kind .
thanks
