> Those kinds of services shouldn't depend on the generosity of the rich and powerful

Ok, but they do, so this is a good thing. It's like you're saying that the signing of a peace treaty is a bad thing because we shouldn't have wars in the first place.

No, this is a peace treaty for a single block in one city, out of an entire country that is still at war.

It's nice that a handful of people are being helped, but they are utterly dwarved by the amounts of people in the same situation who won't ever receive help, not because it's impossible (other countries do it fine) but because the country refuses to recognize the needs of all of its citizens.
