Does giving international aid sometimes cause more harm than good?
This post was written by a student. It has not been fact checked or edited.
Every bomb that falls in a war destroys dreams,schools and hope.That's why I belive helping isn't just about giving food, it's about giving back dignity to those who've lost everything.
I think International aid is very important, but it must be well organized because if not, it can cause serious problems.
The firt example that support my opinion is that people need help after disasters like floods.For example, in East Africa, floods destroy houses and people need food and clean water.Humanitarian aid can save lives.
The second example that suppot my opinion is that war causes many problems. For example, in the war between Russia and Ukraine, many countries gave money, weapons and donations to help. People also need food and medical help.
One person who disagrees with my opinion is because people could think International aid is a waste of money, because there is corruption and sometimes the money does not reach the people.Also that countries should not send money or weapons to wars in other countries .
However, I think my argument is stronger because after floods and wars, people need help: food, clean water and medicines.I belive this is how lives are saved.Yes, there is corruption and also aid sometimes are stolen.But that doesn't mean we do nothing.Even with problems, lives can still be saved, and if we save just one life, it matters.That's why my argument is strong, it's about taking acting , not making excuses.
So to conclude , think: while you worry about Wi-Fi, they worry about water . While you complain about the cold, they freeze in tents.While you sleep, they die.
