Reply #33: Actually it is going to get worst for two reasons

[nadinbrzezinski]

1.- all the children are coming in with a lot of egos. Yes I love NGOs but I hate NGOs... especially the really SMALL ones... especially since they come in, don't tell anybody where they are, and many a times replicate things... did I mention egos? And what you are seeing with the finger pointing is exactly that. Imagine that by orders of magnitude on the ground. I really do not envy whoever is in charge... keeping the children playing nice will be ahem interesting.


2.- They have not been able to really penetrate beyond port au prince. Once they do, it is going to be bad.

The second wave is going to be really nasty... and yes people are dying preventable deaths, but things in the long term, like all those amputees, that is a nightmare nobody is even talking about in a serious manner. In third world countries amputees have little prospects, and prosthesis are a piece of your and my imagination.

The Mexican Red Cross ran a special program for that after the quake, it ran for ten years
