Abstract

The article examines the complex and often contradictory nature of humanitarianism, revealing both its potential for compassion and its susceptibility to exploitation by powerful entities. Topics include the use of humanitarian aid as a tool for political and military agendas, the ethical dilemmas in global aid distribution, and the evolving global perspective on humanitarianism in light of ongoing conflicts like those in Gaza and Afghanistan.
