ABSTRACT
As the number of uprooted persons in the world increases, the size and frequency of emergency operations have increased and they are more complex. The crises are intertwined with a variety of political, military, economic, social and legal which involve complex historical origins and contemporary issues. However, the funds available for emergency protection and assistance are limited and there is an increasing tendency to limit assistance to life-sustaining relief items. While those who are providing humanitarian assistance cannot bring development or peace, international institutions and organizations can offer aid in a way that avoids reinforcing the problems that underlie emergencies and maximize opportunities to address and correct these problems (Anderson, 1993). Careful contextual analysis and strategic implementation of assistance is essential if the plight of the world's uprooted peoples is to be alleviated (AU)
