You joke but one of the biggest problems of actually delivering aid to the hands of the people who go hungry is that along the way it passes through the hands of a local warlord and magically turns into AK-47s. Trying to skip the warlord also has drawbacks, in the form of said AK-47s being used to convince aid workers to hand over the rest of the goods. It mostly boils down to a catch 22 of "effective delivery of aid needs a stable and competent government to support it" and "people mostly experience famines because they don't have a stable and competent government".
