What is human crisis?

 .

A human crisis is a situation that poses a serious threat or danger to the well-being, safety, or survival of people. Some examples of human crises include:

  • Natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, or wildfires that cause widespread destruction and displacement of people.
  • Man-made disasters like wars, famines, or environmental catastrophes that lead to humanitarian emergencies.
  • Public health crises like disease outbreaks, pandemics, or shortages of medical resources that put large populations at risk.
  • Socioeconomic crises like economic recessions, financial collapses, or political upheavals that severely impact people's livelihoods and access to basic necessities. 
Crises often require urgent, large-scale responses from governments, international organizations, and humanitarian aid groups to save lives, provide relief, and help affected populations recover. 

The causes, duration, and impacts of human crises can vary greatly, but they all involve serious threats to human welfare that demand coordinated action to address.
