Aid Agencies and Resource Links

International aid organizations urgently need financial donations for medical aid organizations, food, water, clothes, shelter, and the logistics for professional relief and trained volunteer work to help victims of ongoing emergencies and natural disasters worldwide.

(Many of these emergencies result from the climate change caused by human beings, which scientists have demonstrated in thousands of non-partisan studies, in addition to the consequences of local, regional, and global conflicts also created by human beings. But the knowing the sources are of no use to victims, of course.)

Generally, professional aid workers with needed skills working with NGOs and relief projects facilitated by the vast resources of the military or the U.N. can make a more immediate impact in an immediate emergency. At the same time, many volunteers may require training or even be unintentionally in the way — though volunteer work is most welcome in some local situations and critical in the long term.
