'While we improve the humanitarian aid system, reforms on local institutions and the international architecture have to continue.' - Datuk Seri Saifuddin Abdullah

Humanitarian aid aims to save lives, reduce sufferings and maintain human dignity during and after natural disasters and conflicts/crises occur. It also aims to prevent the disasters from happening again and strengthen preparations in case the disaster happens again.There are 10 types of humanitarian aid: disaster, shelter, food, equipment, clean water, sanitation, medical, children, refugees, and education.

The Asean Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response forms the overarching policy on collective efforts to reduce disaster risks and improve the response. In this context, the AHA was established. The main challenge for humanitarian aid is that the current system is not able to meet the demand. The biggest problem is financing. The funding available is miniscule compared to the amount needed. When extraordinary disasters occur, for example, the tsunami and the Myanmar crisis , external assistance is needed.
