Because that aid often comes with religious strings attached. Why should religious affiliation or "strings" render aid unworthy?

When someone is starving and another person cares enough to give them food, should anyone care whether the person is doing it because of his/her commitment to a religious cause? Interesting, those evil religious people giving all over the world with strings attached, vs those wonderfully benign government bureaucrats who only have the best of motives and best of intentions. I think I get the picture, and it's a picture surrounded by an ugly frame. By the way, I'm not invested, nor a bit embarrassed by the superficial analysis you performed on foreign aid. I simply saw a post which lacked depth and commented on it.
