General19657 sections

This law regulates the possession of humanitarian relief supplies in the state. It applies to any person found with designated gift goods, such as milk powder, grains, or vegetable oil donated by international organizations like UNICEF, CARE, and other relief agencies. Under this act, if someone cannot satisfactorily explain how they obtained these goods, and there is reasonable suspicion the items were stolen or unlawfully acquired, they can be prosecuted and imprisoned. This matters because it deters the black-marketing of charity goods, ensuring that vital aid resources actually reach the vulnerable populations for whom they were originally intended.
