Okay, maybe if I had a religious reason I would have rejected it. Politely. Said thank you but I cannot take that, can we work out something else?
Your problem is not my problem. I may feel empathy and I may be willing to help out, but if you reject my help arrogantly, fuck off.
Europe has quite the challenge. United States and Mexico have mostly the same religions and similar cultures. Europe and Middle East/North Africa, not so much.

Your bottom point is exactly the key. They are not culturally even close. They are so different that even the food aid isn't accepted. This is problems happening before they are even immigrated. What is going to happen when they fully cross over?
Also when you are truly starving your body goes into over drive and your instinct takes over. If you're truly starving you will eat anything. Absolutely anything. At the point of starvation even insects would seem like a steak.
