a lot of what we in the North (of the word, not Poland ;) ) consider help can be actively harmful, as it's badly misaligned with the needs.

We keep sending medical devices with no spare parts, only to be discarded as soon as the first maintenance is due. A lot of our relief processes are set up as industries instead of actual help.
