Reply #1: Well, in 72 hours, the window for any kind of rescue is almost completely closed.

So, if your definition of "relief" is throwing bodies on a backhoe (and maybe actually getting them on there), burning bodies in open dumps and burying bodies in mass graves and a fully armed police force, I guess you should be happy with what is happening.

Funny thing is MSM was in their in a jiffy with their own supplies and set up camp pronto. The UN also did not make them take down their entire operation and move it after they had already started trying to treat patients.

It's not the organizations that are the main problem here. It is the disorganization of relief efforts.

Another funny thing is China's rescue teams were there and on the ground working within 24 hours. Too bad there aren't a million of the Chinese relief workers and rescuers there. The rest could just stay home and quit getting in the damn way.
