The Impact Of Artificial Intelligence On Humanitarian Work: Humanitarian Aid In Gaza As An Example)

Authors : Abdelli Rania .

Abstract

Abstract: In recent years, rapid advances in technology—foremost among them artificial intelligence (AI)—have reshaped multiple domains, including humanitarian action during crises and armed conflicts. Yet practice on the ground reveals marked disparities in how such technologies are deployed across contexts, raising serious questions about fairness in humanitarian response. This study seeks to illuminate these disparities through a comparative analysis of Ukraine and Gaza, where the scale and intensity of humanitarian attention and intervention diverge significantly despite both experiencing acute crises. Drawing on illustrative cases and international reports, the article examines whether AI is being deployed in ways that equitably serve affected populations, or whether its use is guided by implicit political criteria that undermine humanitarian neutrality and justice. This study aims to: Demonstrate the role that artificial intelligence plays in enhancing humanitarian response and accelerating the delivery of aid. Highlight the double standards in the application of artificial intelligence in crisis areas,with a focus on Gaza and Ukraine.Reveal the use of artificial intelligence in humanitarian work in light of the disparity in international support and field practices. The data included reports from international organisations, field operation records, and applications of artificial intelligence in the areas of health services, resource allocation, and communication with affected communities. Key findings: AI plays a central role in supporting and accelerating humanitarian operations by improving resource allocation and speeding up decision-making. The study suggests that AI is not always neutral and may reflect the political biases that shape humanitarian outcomes and public opinion. .
