Haiti Earthquake?

[Laura's Babies]

My concern is how long it has taken to get these people just the basic needs. I thought the world learned after Katrina but it seems they did not. People going 4 and 5 days without food and water is just inhumane. Those that survived the actual earth quake by then are themselves in serious condition..

Who can blame the people for becoming angry and violent?

The problem is that many of these survivors are in areas that are unreachable because of the devastation caused by the quake. Roads are impassable.

The 82nd Airborne arrived yesterday - that may help.

Another problem - there is no fuel available at the airport for the planes. That means they have to land heavy - with enough fuel to take off once they unload.

I am hearing reports of help reaching more remote areas outside the city.

And they are still finding survivors! Yikes!

Was it the woman from FL that was pinned in the rubble for 100 hours on her knees?

And what about the peanut butter and jelly guy?

I probably would gag if I ate PB&J after being stuck in a store w/nothing but that for days!

The woman from Florida is the one I mentioned in my last post (#60). She was found yesterday - day 5.
