Congress demands review after Islamic State aid theft
Lawmakers demand government review after militants shown distributing UN packages.
Outraged lawmakers are demanding that the Barack Obama administration review its humanitarian effort in Syria following reports that Islamic State (IS) militants have been distributing UN aid packages as their own.
Four House members wrote to the US Government Accountability Office earlier this week to ask that the government auditor examine the mechanisms in place to limit waste and diversion. The request comes after jihadist websites displayed images of militants handing out what appear to be World Food Program packages crudely covered with the IS logo.
