Good grief - I'm not complaining. I undertand how long it takes to organise
100 people let alone the tens of thousands required in this situation.

I'm just telling you that it looks bad from the outside. Local TV stations
(i.e. Sydney) have sent their staff into the area to get "news",
and they have had no trouble showing desperate people who claim they
haven't had any water to drink for two or more days. One elderly white man
really looked like he was about to die. There was no sign of any assistance
in the vicinity (apparently around the superdome).
