I have no problem with humanitarian aid.

The people who can fix the problem need food.

Then you give food away, it puts the farmers out of business, and then you perpetuate the cycle of dependency on foreign aid. That is what has happened to Haiti. You have to support building infrastructure, not just dumping free food on them.
