When a disaster strikes, like the flood in Nepal, international aid organisations and foreign governments often step in to help. They provide search and rescue teams, medical aid, and logistical support, especially when local resources are overwhelmed or communication is cut. The UK government, for example, would typically offer assistance to its citizens and the affected country.
