Relief just sits there if there isn't infrastructure to distribute it -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 07:25 8
- I always thought Medecins Sans Frontieres was a reasonably well-respected organization though, no? - TFox Jan 19, 07:29 3
  - when this is over, I'm sure hinsight wil show several things that could have been done better. - ty97 Jan 19, 07:31
  - They just don't like that we are taking the lead in what they probably still see as their territory -- nm - decline Jan 19, 07:31
  - Yes, but any organization that was on the ground is currently having to rebuild stuff (even the UN) - a mobile force has an advantage -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 07:30
- more likely it gets looted as soon as it arrives. -- nm - znufrii Jan 19, 07:26

  - Indeed. Plus, in the first week, the priority is on rescuing the buried, and that requires manpower. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 07:26 1
    - and lots of equipment, and fuel -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 19, 07:29
probably cause they were military relief planes. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 19, 07:25
