Abstract
Weather, inhospitable conditions and war ravage many areas of the world. Even in the safest locations, sudden economic or political changes can leave previously prosperous individuals destitute and alone. People deprived of the basic necessities become desperate, exhausting all means to obtain food and basic medicine. When conditions worsen, disease spreads rapidly, reducing the likelihood of survival. The conditions people face are often inhumane and unsanitary. We should not stand by idly while people starve and are forced to drink unsafe water.
This piece challenges countries and individuals to ACCEPT that fellow humans are trapped in conditions they didn’t create; ACKNOWLEDGE that they are victims, unable to escape or overcome imposed hardships; IDENTIFY the basic needs to allow them to survive and rebuild their lives; DISMANTLE the obstacles preventing aid; and USE power and influence to deliver and distribute food, clean water and basic medicine.
