UN's Aid Blocked Like Wi-Fi in a Concrete Bunker

In what’s starting to feel like an exclusive VIP event for dysfunction, large swaths of a conflict-affected region have become about as accessible as your ex’s DMs after a block.

With international heroes pulling up only to find 'No Entry' signs, vulnerable populations are basically ghosted—not by tech, but by the very agencies supposed to help. This is giving big 'old white men in suits deleting funds and ethics' energy—because apparently, leaving people stranded is the new global pastime.
