Who organises international aid? Aid agencies are organisations that provide money, food and medical supplies in emergency situations. Both the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNI-CEF) have brought help to developing countries that have suffered because of underdeveloped economies, crop failure, or through civil war. In Islamic countries, the Red Crescent provides emergency food and medical supplies.   Previous: Back Book: 1001 Section: History Chapter: 20th-century Achievements
