The question is if the aid is really worth anything given that the Taliban will simply steal anything of value and continue to make it more and more difficult to reach the folks in need with what little remains.

Non-Governmental Organization. Think international charities, contractors, or aid groups that support civilians or governments in underdeveloped or war-torn regions of the world.
