Part 8/13:
A comprehensive report by researchers Dr. Neta Barak Cohen and Dr. Jonathan Boxman reveals that entities such as the UN and aid organizations have often turned a blind eye as billions of dollars in aid are siphoned off. In Somalia, aid delivery is hampered by cartels, ghost camps, and local gatekeepers, leaving only a small fraction of aid reaching civilians. Displaced populations have been coerced into giving up stipends, while aid trucks are looted or diverted by militias in Ethiopia and Sudan.
