We actually had a UN Relief expert (who was actually live from Somalia were he is participating on a UN mission) on TV over here (here not being the US) last night and he pointed out that 20 trucks is far from sufficient help and described this humanitarian "help" as "marketing".

From other sources I read that in the current situation 100 truck per day are needed, so yeah, that Bidden-negotiated "help" of enough supplies to last 5h once is pure political propaganda and total bullshit.
