Four African countries are set to run out of vital emergency food supplies in the next three months, putting the lives of millions of malnourished children at risk, new research has found.

This.
The only charity that works is cash, it allows the local econmy to get started ,people buy food off local farmers etc. Some infrastructure eg trains crossing countries allow moving food or livestock from drought striken areas etc but maintenace inevitability becomes an issue.
Buying corn etal off comparatively well off American farmers is just welfare for said farmers.
Of course you always have corruption skimming off the top, stong men controlling water well access etc etc.
