Part 4/7:
Obstacles and Humanitarian Failures
The restrictions imposed on aid delivery are described as draconian, creating nearly insurmountable obstacles for relief organizations.

The goal seems to hinder, rather than help, the flow of aid, turning what could be a humanitarian effort into a calculated squeeze on the civilian population.
