International aid - Standpoint image 5

Internalinal aid cna some times cause more harm than good.For an example 20 years ago a country began reciving aid but later on still could not feed people.Many countries dropped out ;the supply chains collapsed , caused situations and migration.

If a country gave aid to one country in a war the other country could not like what you have done and start a whole new war with your country.Failing to support other countrys can lead to gettig criticised for failing to uphold your global responsibililtys.Another example is in a war a school was bombed and they were reciving money to help rebuild it but fundings were not reching.Countries kept sending money but endind up giving a bad reputation as the funds never reached.

People dissagree and believe that life saving benifites and essentials to live is very important and do not relise what else can happen or has happened when providing aid.They can argue that it is essential for internatinal aid which i do not dissagree with but I agree that it can cause more harm than good.

In conclusion, my opinion is that internatinal aid can cause more harm than good and should be fully thought through before making the descision to send.We should know when a country is in need and send aid but be careful on what we are acterly sending and what harm it could do.If a country makes a wrong desicion other countries should step in and tell them what is the right desicion.
