Foreign aid refers to money, resources, or assistance given by one country to another; usually to support economic development, disaster recovery, healthcare, or humanitarian relief. It can include food, medical supplies, infrastructure funding, or direct financial grants. Wealthy nations generally refer to countries with high-income economies and strong global influence; such as the United States, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, Canada, France, South Korea, and other members of the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development). These nations have stable governments, advanced industries, and the capacity to contribute significant financial resources to global welfare.
