Relief efforts refer to actions taken by individuals, organizations or governments to provide assistance and support to people affected by natural disasters, conflicts or other crises. This can include providing food, water, shelter, medical care, and emotional support to those in need. Relief efforts may also involve long-term reconstruction projects aimed at rebuilding communities and restoring normalcy after a crisis has passed. The goal of relief efforts is to alleviate suffering and help people get back on their feet as quickly as possible following an emergency situation.
