V. Justice and Solidarity Among Nations
2440
Direct aid is an appropriate response to immediate, extraordinary needs caused
by natural catastrophes, epidemics, and the like. But it does not suffice to
repair the grave damage resulting from destitution or to provide a lasting
solution to a country’s needs. It is also necessary to reform international
economic and financial institutions so that they will better promote equitable
relationships with less advanced countries.227 The efforts of poor
countries working for growth and liberation must be supported.228 This
doctrine must be applied especially in the area of agricultural labor.
Peasants, especially in the Third World, form the overwhelming majority of the
poor.
