All that talk about two drug runners, and not much care about millions of innocent people loosing everything through no fault of their own.

Not only is their Airport damaged and not big or safe enough for all the Aid planes to land. There are remote places where help can not get to as quickly as is needed.

Medical help from all over the world is trying to get there, and the biggest problems are fresh water, food and shelter. Sanitary problems will cause more sickness and babies are in much danger of catching fatal deseases.

 

I feel so sorry and helpless not to be able to go there myself to be of use to Red Cross anymore.

 

Those are the people that deserve our attention and care. Not a couple of greedy criminals. Their families will rake in millions $ and glorify the life of those thugs.
