How does working in active conflict zones affect humanitarian operations and their ability to provide aid? To answer this question, the authors of this text focus on four case studies -- Afghanistan, South Somalia, South Sudan and Syria -- and conclude that 1) humanitarian operations are indeed "highly determined" by conditions on the ground; 2) the relief provided does not necessarily coincide with the requirements of the moment; and 3) aid coverage is often skewed in favor of areas under the control of Western-supported parties.
