"The immediate needs are obvious but does aid dependency help long term?"
Probably not and most likely humanitarian aid is also often more a benign element of a larger neo-colonialist policy than anything else. But this doesn't detract from the fact that hundreds of thousands of lives could be at stake in the short and medium term. And you can't just end up with humanitarian aid all of a sudden without attempting to find an alternative, not to mention giving timely prior notice.
