Humanitarian aid considered a sub-branch of humanitarian diplomacy where civil groups and organizations can be influential alongside traditional state diplomacy is based on cooperation and support in difficult times. Since the world faces severe humanitarian crises worldwide approximately 245 million people need urgent humanitarian assistance today. Disasters war internal conflicts migration movements epidemics drought ethnic discrimination and hunger cause humanitarian crises. Today humanitarian aid is one of the most strategic means of waving flags appealing to hearts and minds and soft power.

Issues such as prevailing socioeconomic disparities rising national and global income inequalities and natural disasters heighten its significance. Humanitarian aid studies must be supported in theory as well as in practice.
