There is no law which stating that the developed nations should help developing or underdeveloped nation. But it is the responsibility of developed nations to help them. The developed nations can invest in the education sectors, health care sectors and schools in the other nations to help them. It is also benefit for the developed nations in investing in the other nations to promote the international trade and service. The example for the above statement is the approach of Bhutan's gross national happiness.

It is also due to unemployment, illiteracy, large population, pandemic spread of any disease such as covid-19, environmental problems or natural disasters etc..
