In his earlier contribution, Mr. Meehan mentioned that we need to focus funding where it is needed most. At times, all of us ask why humanitarian aid does not reach particular areas or regions. Do the UN-based organisations and other transnational organisations not have greater capacity than NGOs to get assistance to the most needy in a quicker manner? I am posing this as a question and not a statement.
