A lot of them are trapped in corrupt systems that are very costly and have ethics concerns blocking change. We have the money to feed them, but it would take far more money to turn a bunch of African countries into stable democracies. Overthrowing dictatorships might also raise ethics concerns about colonialism.
The easiest solution would just be lots of immigration, but host population reject that because of our evolutionary pecularities.
I agree that changing systems is difficult. But providing basic means isn’t, really. I personally think we should feed starving people even if they live in a dictatorship.

The point is the money or food just won’t get to them. How do you send food to a region in a civil war between 2 dictators?
