I reckon these ads just go to prove that most of the foreign aid money DOESN'T get to where it's actually needed.
Corruption a huge problem.

Re: Foreign Aid Cut

Yet another charity was on the TV ads last evening - The British Red Cross now has its begging bowl out for £10 donations towards Covid vaccinations. And there was me thinking all the G20 countries had promised to donate all their spare vaccine.
