Haiti--They're Starving Now, Not Tomorrow

I just posted what follows on a New York Times blog:

Another day or two delay in getting food and water to these Haitians and another maybe 30-, 40-, 50,000 deaths. Isn't there some way small amounts of food and water, let's say Army K-ration packs and one-liter bottles, can be parachuted right smack into the crowds? Just enough to keep them going for another day or two without having to wait and wait for formal lines of communication to be established. If this had been done at Katrina thousands more would have survived. These people are starving right now. They cannot wait.

  1. They are doing drops of food and supplies, I think with the corruption you need security first.My buddy is going down there he is in the guard.Your right there should be a faster more effective way of getting the supplies to those who need them.

  2. I agree with William we need security to fight against corruption. We also need to be aware and also be strict. Because security can't be perfect.
