Transitional Aid for the Victims of War

As a human instinct, man has always tried to invade with a strategy to expand their kingdoms. This range back from the ancient times, with a desire to take over others' rightful property by power. What have changed with modern times is only the weapons used for the war. A war is just another catastrophe for mankind and it has many destructive after effects including loss of soldiers, countrymen and loss of property. History has seen many civilizations wiping out as a result of war and many civilizations booming up because of this. The war may be due to an internal threat in the country or an attack from a surrounding nation in an attempt to take control over the land. As a result of war, there are many soldiers and countrymen who get completely disabled or die fighting for the country. To compensate for the loss, the country gives the war compensation and the transitional aid.

As has been seen in the history, during an emergency phase of the country when the country is in war with another country, the affected people in the country are given a transitional aid (in german Übergangsbeihilfe ) in the form of shelters and some amount of money as war compensation to carry out their livelihood. During this period, it becomes the responsibility of the government to assure the basic living things for the affected people. There might be cases that during war many soldiers get physically handicapped and may even die fighting for the nation. This again becomes a responsibility of the government to take care of their families. Different nations have different rules and policies in this regard to give away the transitional aid to the families of the soldiers and other affected people because of war. This might be in the form of money or giving concessions at various places of daily needs. There are different compensation (in german Abfindung ) schemes provided by the government of the country to cover different levels of injuries for the family members of the affected. Although nothing can compensate the loss of a person or any body part, this assures that the families of the affected people continue their journey of life without any interruption.
