What defines a humanitarian crisis? A number of things, and for many, it is a part of their daily life. A humanitarian crisis, often called a humanitarian emergency, is an event (or series of events) that presents a critical threat to the health, safety, security, or wellbeing of a community spanning a wide area.

Many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) lack adequate hospital and emergency transportation infrastructure, but most have strong community-based structures, such as community-based organizations and local nonprofits.

Something that we often take for granted in more developed parts of the world, food and water is not something that is always guaranteed in other countries. Especially those who may be survivors of an environmental disaster.

In developing countries, the COVID-19 crisis has not affected everyone equally. To help poorer countries deal with infection rates in the neighborhood of the 30,000 per 100,000 being predicted by the modeling work of the Imperial College COVID-19 team—even with social distancing—these strategies will have to be supplemented by an entirely different set of measures.

In underdeveloped countries, children tend to grow up uneducated or illiterate, with little to no opportunities when it comes to work and providing for themselves or their families. School isn’t a priority when food needs to be put on the table.
