All 3 Documented Cases
Access Blocks and Distribution Delays
$Billions in undelivered aid (e.g., 75% funding shortfall in Myanmar 2025, Gaza blockade delays)Checkpoints, road closures, fighting, administrative delays, and visa denials routinely bottleneck aid distribution, causing idle supplies, equipment, and personnel. This results in undelivered aid piling up at borders or ports while needs go unmet in remote areas. USAID JLOTS and UN operations exemplify how distribution targets are missed due to these persistent barriers.
Aid Diversion and Looting in Distribution
$Millions annually (e.g., equivalent to feeding shortfall of 50,000+ people/month in Gaza JLOTS)Aid supplies are regularly diverted, looted, or stolen during distribution due to crowds, insecure routes, and targeted attacks on convoys and warehouses. This leads to substantial losses of food, medical supplies, and other essentials before reaching intended recipients. Organizations like USAID and NGOs report recurring incidents that deplete stocks and hinder response efforts.
Diversion of Assistance by Belligerents
Very high percentage of aid (e.g., 'very high' diversion in southern Sudan operations)Armed groups and authorities systematically divert humanitarian aid, imposing conditions that violate international law and reduce delivery to civilians. High diversion rates persist despite ground rules, as seen in Sudan, Liberia, and Rwanda. This abuse shrinks effective aid volume through unauthorized seizures and gray market schemes.
