UK calls for urgent aid rule changes.

What?

These people are in desperate need. We have the resources - use them.

Sod the OECD and UN rules, these are our people, British passport holders. ~ Go in first and help them, then argue the legalities.

Fully agree. The devastation is now and the need is immediate, so get to it, and argue the rules later. What would they do anyway, wave a yellow card at us?

One thing I haven't liked about the "relief effort" concerns the evacuation of foreign nationals. It seems many countries were employing an "our citizens only" policy in airlifting out refugees. I bet they'd be the first to complain if we implemented that policy in return ....
