PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI – FEBRUARY 4: In this handout image provided by the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), the United Nations’ (MINUSTAH) Peruvian Peacekeepers and the US Army provide security for a World Food Programme food distribution coordinated by GOAL, the international humanitarian aide organization, in Place St. Pierre in Petionville on February 4, 2010 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Each woman is given a card and then is helped with a 20-kilogram bag of rice by one of the men from the GOAL team. Place St. Pierre has become a makeshift camp for people who lost their homes in the earthquake that devastated Haiti on January 12th. (Photo by Sophia Paris/MINUSTAH via Getty Images)

As an example, let us consider the earthquakes that shook Haiti and Japan in 2010 and 2011 respectively. These places were severely affected by the natural disaster leading to a loss of infrastructure and a shortage of food. The United Nations stepped in here and provided food supplies to the victim countries.
