How would you define a "humanitarian disaster"?

Something that kills or injures large numbers of humans?

An actual disaster where humanitarian aid was hard/impossible to deliver when it was needed, either through incompetence or malice.

Some kind of massive, specific event that has no repercussions on a physical space, but has a devastating effect on the people who live there that requires enormous effort to remedy. For instance, due to a breakout of far-ranging violence or political discord, large numbers of people are displaced from their homes in a short time period and have lost food, water, shelter, safety.

All the effects of a disaster, without a single event that the disaster could be named after.
