The experience of Humanitarian actions in covid 19; a study in student Humanitarian challenges in the city of Yazd

In a world at risk of emerging crises, modern governments need the presence and subsidiary participation. Due to their high capacity and motivation, student groups are one of the most important components of participation in aid activities. The aim of this study is exploring and detection the barriers and challenges of student support actions in Covid 19 among student groups in Yazd. The present study is a qualitative study based on framework analysis in which the participants are 15 student groups who worked actively in the first and second coronavirus waves in Yazd. The findings showed that these groups face multidimensional internal and external challenges in the face of crisis. The five themes extracted are: The politicization of administrators, low level of social capital of groups, the group's staff challenge, institutional neglect and repression, and ultimately exhaustion. As a result, it can be said that policy makers should pay more attention to the high role and capacity of student groups in the crisis and take action to improve their knowledge and skills in this field. The most important strategy in this regard is to eliminate politicization in such actions, especially in times of crisis. Also, the society needs to promote the public culture in order to be more responsible and the culture of dialogue and tolerance, especially in crises.
