In any geopolitical crisis, you tend to have victims on both sides be prevented from getting relief, except when the one side is imperial.

The powerful entities tend to prohibit relief to the oppressed side, even making it illegal.

I’m thinking as well more “mundane” things as well, like red states with “charitable feeding” laws that in effect make it illegal to feed the homeless without large amounts of red tape.

But, truly, I think you’re right to highlight wars.
