Annual Reports

The aim of humanitarian aid is to prevent loss of life and to alleviate human suffering caused by natural or human-induced disasters or armed conflicts. It also involves assistance to countries and regions affected by comprehensive long-term humanitarian crisis. In relation to climate change, disaster prevention has become increasingly important and is now a part of humanitarian aid. The provision of humanitarian aid follows internationally recognised principles of good donorship, most notably the key principles of humanity, impartiality, neutrality and independence.
