Some people believe that governments should not provide international aid when they have unemployment and homelessness in their country.To what extent do you agree or disagree?

The fundamental duty of the public authority is to ensure that its citizens are provided with all basic facilities
such
 as housing, education and employment
However
, some people argue that the
government
 should
first
 ensure, that their citizens have been provided with all the facilities before they use public funds to provide aid to poorer countries. In my essay I would share my views on the same. As we are aware, there are a number of problems faced by a developing nations. It is the responsibility of the
government
 to ensure that the public funds are used effectively for the benefit of its citizens. One of the major issues in
such
 countries is lack of housing facilities, the
government
 should work on using the public funds in building houses for the underprivileged people.
Secondly
, due to the growing population another big concern which arises in these countries are lack of employment.The
government
 should take measures in reducing the population and should
also
 encourage and fund smaller start up units which can
therefore
, help in generating jobs.
However
, there are downsides to
this
. We all live in a world where we need to help one another.When a
government
 takes measures to help the poorer countries, it helps in setting a good example among its people.
For example
, when a Tsunami hit the Philippines, all the countries whether rich or poor stepped in, to help these people who got majorly impacted by
this
 calamity.
In addition
, we
also
 do not want to be prospering in a way where we see our neighbour countries are struggling.
This
 could
also
 lead in illegal immigration from these neighbouring countries. In conclusion, the primary role of the
government
 should ensure that the citizens are provided with basic necessities
such
 as housing and employment.
Moreover
, they should
also
 work towards helping the poorer nations which would result in creating harmony.
