For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I believe that apart from the smaller organisations that actually physically help the unfortunate to help themselves with education, tools, farming methods, irrigation etc., most of the money collected by the more famous charities is siphoned of by legal deductions and criminal funds diversion in the destined countries.
I guess the government feels it needs to share global resources about more evenly even if it means they make things slightly more difficult for themselves. Not just altruistic either since it never hurts to have foreign countries feel they owe you. The major issue is whether the aid does what is intended of it by the giver.
