the two types of aid are short term aid and long term aid. Short term aid only neutralizes the situation e.g. if you supply a country with a bag of wheat, then it doesn't tend to last more than 3-6 months. Long term aid is something that will never run out or stay where it is e.g building a school and training up doctors and teaches

What are some arguments for foreign aid?

* Foreign aid is our duty to humanity. After many years of exploitation by colonial powers, it is necessary to give back to developing nations. * Modern industrialized countries often rely on resources from Third World countries, so that foreign aid will, one day, lead to equality in foreign trade. * No nation exists in a vacuum. Ignoring overseas insecurity, poverty and starvation results in instability, genocide and war; it can breed terrorism and spawn disease outbreaks that are capable of becoming pandemic. * Aid is typically guided towards a goal, that is typically meant to improve the economic, social or military capabilities of the receiving country. If the economy of the receiving country is improved, it can typically trade more with the donor country, and thus aid becomes mutually advantageous (the Marshall Plan would give you a good idea on how this works). If the social standards of a country are improved, then stability is insured, and the donor can benefit from it (through trade, through partnerships etc.). If the military capabilities of a country are improved, the donor can expect an ally in the area. For a better account of why aid is given and how aid works, I suggest Jeffrey Sachs' "The Development Challenge" published in Foreign Affairs March/April 2005, vol 84, issue 2.
