True, yet when you compare the costs of a line of aerial transport runs with the costs of mobilizing and deploying a fleet of 12 military vessels, and maintaining them in their deployed state for what is probably gonna end up being at least 2 months, there's no comparison.

And no other nation is actually deploying its own military for any extended amount of time. They are just shipping things in, and most of the goods are already included in the totals.

and you will only see pictures of UN flag drapped supplies and pictures of UN officials in front of "A" planeload of stuff. But will the supplies get to the people or will they rot on the run way? OOOOR worse will they just be marked to go to supply the UN mission itself.
