No, it just doesn't make a moral claim.

Humanitarianism does claim to support a morality though. It has ethics that are based on duty in that you are responsible for the well being of everyone else on this planet.

There is a difference between ethics and morality. Humanitarianism requires a strong sense of ethics, but not a strong sense of morality, or even any sense of morality.

A million times this. Morality is not something which can be objectively right or wrong; it is simply an opinion of good and bad based on your upbringing and/or natural inclinations. Is murdering someone ever good? Maybe. Is it ethical? No.
