If there was a panacea to this situation then I’m sure that brighter minds than mine would have come up with it by now. 

One thing I am certain of is that whatever arguments may be made against humanitarian aid and assistance it does more good than evil.  I’m sure that there is wastage, corruption and misdirection of funds but that does not justify any reduction - it is the faults in the system that should be addressed rather than sacrifice the good that is done.
