- "The exploitation
is so widespread that some Syrian women are refusing to go to
distribution centres because people would assume they had
offered their bodies for the aid they brought home", the
BBC explains quoting a new UN report on the humanitarian abuses.
- More than half the
humanitarian donations from the United Kingdom to Syria through
small NGOs have ended up in the hands of ISIS and other jihadist
groups, according to the think-tank Quilliam Foundation. In this
way, millions of pounds, thanks to the generosity of British
taxpayers, have fallen in the hands of terror groups.
- Fatiha-Global, which
should have brought help to Syrian refugees fleeing the war,
instead diverted the funds to the Islamic State, the very terror
group which had caused the refugee crisis to begin with. To top
it off, the head of Fatiha-Global, Adeel Ali, was photographed
with the jihadists of the Caliphate -- the same jihadist group
that beheaded British volunteer Alan Henning, who had come to
Syria on behalf of the subsidiaries of Fatiha.
Amnesty
International has come under scrutiny for its relationship with CAGE,
an NGO founded by an extremist Muslim, Moazzam Begg, which campaigns
for the release of imprisoned jihadists. When one of Amnesty's senior
officers, Gita Sahgal (pictured), expressed concerns, she was
suspended. (Image source: Nano GoleSorkh/Wikimedia Commons)
In a secularized West, charitable organizations are
the modern-day saints granting us our expiatory rites. Many
humanitarian NGOs even seem to cater to Western consciences filled
with guilt.
Since these NGOs say they work on behalf of
"humanity" and for a "better world", while
possibly assuming that states and governments act only for the sake
of social efficiency or their own self-preserving interests. Yet,
often these NGOs risk becoming bureaucracies as much as states do,
sometimes even with similar sexual and financial scandals. At times
these NGOs also can look like just a "mammoth machinery"
with more employees than services; a steep, often unaccountable
budget, and an ideology promoting the worst "Western
stereotyping". The weekly magazine The Spectator called
them "the bad charity".
