UN says largest humanitarian crisis since 1945

I don't think any of us want to see innocent people starve or die from preventable disease. But part of me has a problem with this. The aid needed is in four countries who are waging internal war. I know, I know, those that will suffer are not necessarily the ones continuing the conflict. 

Here is the question, my problem. If the world supplies the aid (and we certainly have the ability) will this in some way be subsidizing the conflicts? If the population begins to die off will there be additional internal pressure to stop the conflicts? If the world supplies the aid does this allow the conflicts to continue?

I don't even pretend to know what the conflicts are about. If they are for resources and supplying the aid will reduce/stop the fighting, then step up world. However, if it is political/religious/non resource related and aid is supplied, did the world just remove one/several reason(s) for the internal struggle to stop? Plus, will this create more conflict as the powerful within the countries seek to control the aid sent. 

Those in power that are causing the conflicts don't seem to be that concerned. Quote: "...all parties to the conflict are arbitrarily denying sustained humanitarian access and politicize aid," he said, warning if that behavior doesn't change now "they must be held accountable for the inevitable famine, unnecessary deaths and associated amplification in suffering that will follow."

This always causes me internal conflict. Maybe I'm just an ass.
