Humanitarian Experts Debate Trump's Use Of The Term 'Humanitarian Crisis' (NPR)

From the article:

Some aid researchers say that Trump's role in creating the crisis strips him of the moral authority to call it a "humanitarian crisis."

"It's as if a mobster threw a brick through a window and said, 'Boy, there's a lot of crime,' " says Jeremy Konyndyk, a senior policy fellow at the Center for Global Development and the former head of international disaster response for the Obama administration.

"If you're the one causing the crisis, the simplest and right thing to do is to stop what's causing it," he says.
