La respuesta parece sencilla, pero décadas de experiencia acumulada por organismos humanitarios han demostrado que algunas formas de ayuda generan un impacto mucho mayor que otras. En situaciones donde miles de vidas dependen de la rapidez y la eficiencia de la respuesta, las decisiones tomadas durante las primeras horas pueden marcar la diferencia entre una recuperación ordenada y una crisis prolongada. |
