If you drop supplies on a dock to rot, or get stolen, or held and defended by the strongest motherfucker in the area, you have served no useful purpose.

Relief work is not just about getting the right supplies to the right place. It's about getting them distributed to the people who actually need them. You also have to look at what you're handing out — What use is a ton of dried milk and rice if you don't also have clean water?
