IOW, the MSF organization is only interested in making the "required motions" for emergency aid, not in doing all they can to help those people.
So they're not taking the opportunity to fill their pockets. Can't argue with them on that point.

Actually, I don't think that is the case. They have a limited number of doctors, etc. who can respond. Once they are fully budgeted for their response, they don't need further contributions. This sounds like an excellent way to operate. Other agencies may still be ramping up their response and would be better targets for donations. Why waste money?
I guess I see this as an opportunity to add to what they were originally planning. They might not be able to put together a comprehensive response like their main one, but they could certainly use the extra cash to put together small response teams that can operate as satellites of the main effort. I would think that any emergency response organization would have a way of creating ad hoc additions when money permits. After all, a little money can go a long way in that part of the world. Even if it's just paying workers to ride shotgun on the relief trucks and help hand out supplies.
