Wealthy nations should assist poorer countries with humanitarian relief during natural disasters. Do you agree or disagree?

Natural disasters can trouble everyone. It is argued that developing
countries
should be helped by developed
nations
during natural calamities. In my opinion,

completely agree with
this
statement because rich
nations
have a surplus of
resources
at their disposal and they can reap the rewards of goodwill in future.
Firstly
, developed
countries
should help poor
nations
in the event of natural disasters as they have plenty of
resources
to divert during
such
crises. Most of the developed
nations
have a surplus of cash owing to higher per capita income and their own requirement for
resources
can easily be met, despite them using part of their wealth for humanitarian work.
Additionally
, many natural
resources
such
as grains or milk products are perishable in nature, which can aptly be used in the beginning.
For example
, a recent study has shown that the altruistic work done by the United
Nations
during the Tsunami waves in Indonesia helped in the survival of more than 2.3 million people.
Secondly
, developed
countries
should extend help to under-developed
nations
during exigencies as tables can turn at any time. As evident in past, poor
countries
can become rich and rich
nations
can fall into poverty too.
Also
, even the rich
countries
might have requirements of scarce
resources
, which only some poor
nations
have in abundance.
For instance
, during the Covid-19 pandemic, India became the largest manufacturer and supplier of life-saver vaccines and these vaccines were distributed to the developed
nations
too. To conclude, under-developed
nations
should get assistance from wealthy
nations
since developed
nations
have more than what they need and even they might need help in future as their own situation may change with time.
