CEVAP:

Operational activities refer to those activities through which NGOs provide services around the world. For example, providing urgent humanitarian aid and other types of assistance in case of natural disasters, migration, or refugee flows can be considered as operational activities. During the humanitarian emergencies such as the famine in Ethiopia, the civil wars in Kosovo, Syria, Iraq, and Somalia as well as the typhoons in South Asia, various international NGOs (including the Care International, the Catholic Relief Services, the World Vision, Save the Children, Oxfam, and Médecins Sans Frontières) have provided food, shelter, water, and clothing to the victims.
