Lesson starter What type of aid is given to a country after a natural disaster? Discuss with the people around you and write down your ideas. What are the two main categories of aid?

Two types of aid. Short term aid. Long term aid. What do you think each of these could mean?

Short and long term aid. Short term aid: ▫ This is help with things that people need right away. Basic things people would need to survive right after a disaster. Long term aid: ▫ This is help for a country over a long period of time. It will help rebuild the country after the destruction.
