Preferred term

ethics of charity relief  

Definition

  • Charity relief in a disaster context means assisting disaster-affected people through donations of money, goods, or services, including volunteers' time and skills. Many ethical approaches accept the necessity of charity relief and see it as an ethical action, while recognizing that on occasion, charity relief can cause more problems than it solves.
