If even 1/4 of U.S. aid to Lebanon gets to those who need it, I'd say we would be lucky.

Pretty much every country outside of the United States is "third world" in this respect. There is a long chain of grifters handling the funds until at the end of the line some poor Lebanese schlub gets a bottle of water and batteries for his flashlight. If he's very very lucky, maybe a granola "energy bar" and a disposable "moist towelette" too.

I suspect the first 50% or so goes right back to our politicians.

The cut is likely much less when the money is spent domestically.
