disaster relief, n.All

Disaster relief (n.) can ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠be withheld as a weapon: hurricane aid refused to Nicaragua because the starvation helped a terrorist war.

Disaster relief (n.) became, ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠after Katrina, an opportunity to suspend wage rules, cut food stamps, and waive the estate tax for storm victims — a great boon to the poor fleeing the slums.
