On top of that, foreign aid has two other problems as well:

  1. When all the resources comes in, and whoever in the local country receives the shipments for distribution gains immense power, money and influence. Thus, you inevitably end up with strongmen and rampant corruption. (Even if some honest Western NGO - should such a thing exist - handles distribution directly, there's still locals demanding payment for letting them in, skimming stuff off the top, determining which locals actually get stuff, etc)

  2. It vastly suppresses local economies. When other people flood in food, clothing, medicine, etc. to your area that they just give away, what reason do you have to make any of that yourself? Sure, there are some ambitious people who try but even then they are up against vast competition from free stuff. So, in the end, you end up with economies that are entirely dependent on foreign aid and large numbers of people who don't have anything useful to do.
