from the above:

In the post-9/11 world they are more often working in battlefields. Attacks on aid workers in Somalia and Afghanistan have become so prominent, agencies are pulling workers out of these areas. (NYT) Zimbabwe, Myanmar, and Somalia are just a few of the countries to ban or restrict the work of relief agencies in recent years

Now an aid worker in Sudan, Somalia, or Afghanistan is almost as likely to be attacked as military personnel.

This also leaves a significant void in the sphere of foreign aid.

Most likely this void would be filled by the UN, which has many more constraints on its operations than the private aid organizations, or worse, the military becomes the new face of relief work. AFRICOM, commonly referred to as the Peace Corp with guns, is a prime example of this
