What is Humanitarian Shelter? When people’s houses are destroyed by disasters or conflict they need shelter. Shelter is not just the walls and the roof that provide protection from the weather but also it needs to enable people to live their lives in safety. Humanitarian organizations work to assist people to find and improve their own adequate shelter.
Shelter and settlements assistance is essential to safeguard the health, security, privacy and dignity of individuals affected by crises. Beyond just lifesaving, shelter and settlements assistance is fundamental in rebuilding the psychological, social, livelihood and physical components of life – in short, all the aspects necessary for people to move from survival to recovery.
