".
If it is absolutely certain that the aid will not get through, it goes without saying that we ask for it to be cut off. Having said that, I admit that it is extremely difficult because we need real-time information.
We generally get that information from the operators on the ground, either NGOs or international organisations, etc. That all happens in extremely tricky and extremely sensitive circumstances. We therefore have to carry out a proper analysis before cutting off humanitarian aid or stopping sending or trying to send it. You mention Côte d'Ivoire. We also have to avoid throwing the population into disarray and total destitution if humanitarian aid is cut off.
Obviously, each case is assessed individually on the basis of information from our own delegations. I have to say that the high level of decentralisation we have today helps a lot. Information reaches us more reliably and more quickly, and on the basis of that information we can either continue our work, negotiate to try and get the aid where it is needed, or quite simply break it off. But I could not give my backing to any action that did not take all these things into account.
I nevertheless repeat that all this is extremely difficult, extremely delicate and extremely fragile and, we therefore have to look at each case individually every time."@en1
