Following the Beirut blast, international aid in response to this major disaster flooded into the country to provide humanitarian relief. However the execution and the funding  was left to the local community. Food and other  donated goods were found on shelves being sold.

An influx of NGOs popped out of the blue to get a share of the donations yet quickly disappeared after providing little to no benefits.  Of the significant amounts of funds received the money distributed to locals was minimal.
