they are going to need food relief.

Africa is a lost cause.

The most humane policy would be to let the population die back to a level that can be supported by the local agriculture and food resources.

Food relief keeps people alive who cannot feed themselves

That enables them to have more babies they can't feed

Those babies grow up to be adults who cannot feed themselves.

And on and on and on...

Better to put in quarantines and offer relief efforts to keep it contained.
