How does the UK give aid?

When a disaster strikes, countries like the UK often provide humanitarian aid. This can involve financial pledges, like the £5 million for Nepal, or offering practical support such as emergency responders. Aid is usually channelled through governments, international organisations, or charities, aiming to help with immediate relief and longer term recovery efforts.
