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

Underdeveloped

countries

should be assisted by rich

countries

with humanitarian support when natural phenomena occur.

This

essay strongly agrees with

this

statement. Developing

countries

not only have limited resources but

also

natural disasters are man-made. Poorer

countries

have a shortage of resources. They do not have the financial means nor the human resources to overcome a natural phenomenon.

This

means they have limited safe shelters built in their

countries

to facilitate during a naturally occurring disaster and are limited in spending money on rescuing people.

For example

, during a Tsunami in the Philippines buildings were destroyed. There were no safe shelters for the Filipinos and they were trapped for days in their houses and apartments. Many people died because there was a shortage of excavators, cranes, and trucks.

This

delayed the rescue.

Secondly

, natural disasters are man-made. There is an increasing number of environmental crises because of the pollution humans have created. Recent research has concluded that factories in developed

countries

are producing high amounts of CO2 from their abundant factories.

This

is released into our ecosystem, suddenly rising the temperature and

thus

, causing global warming. Most naturally occurring catastrophes are caused by sudden shifts in the environment.

Hence

, developed

countries

should take responsibility for poorer

countries

. To conclude, I believe the plentiful nation-state should aid underdeveloped states with humanitarian relief. Natural catastrophes are human-made and underprivileged nations require help from wealthier

countries

.
