UN humanitarian aid in war zones
Is problematic.

"Early on in the Syrian conflict, the Assad regime learned to access resources and support from the very multilateral institutions they sought to undermine. Taking advantage of the United Nations (UN) agencies’ mandate to provide aid, the regime allowed UN agencies to stay in Damascus under certain conditions. In doing so, they extracted unprecedented compromises from the humanitarian community. For the first time, the UN allowed a government-affiliated aid organization with military escorts to deliver aid to areas that were in rebellion with that same government. As a result, these convoys were stopped, damaged, or diverted to loyalists throughout the war.[1]
As the conflict dragged on, control over the international humanitarian apparatus in Damascus allowed the regime to provide line edits to humanitarian reports and cover up brutal sieges, effectively flipping the script on the conflict itself. Most infamously, the UN failed to publicize the siege of Madaya until international media outlets reported on the starvation of children in the area.[2]"
