From the Paper:

"In examining the good and bad things the United Nations has done about the natural disasters that have occurred in Third World countries, it is evident that UN participation in disaster relief and other related activities in the Third World is often hindered by political, bureaucratic, and logistical obstacles. This is especially unfortunate, for Third World countries suffer greater immediate and long-term damage from natural disasters than developed industrialized countries. Essentially, because they lack the economic infrastructure, advanced medical facilities, communications systems, government stability and wealth to cope with large-scale catastrophes, Third World countries are always in dire need of United Nations assistance when a tsunami, earthquake, epidemic, or famine strikes."
