Here is a clip from an article in the WSJ. The reporter’s idea was to ride along for a day on a food distribution run in Haiti. Turns out, none of the food was given out, at least not in the way planned (a couple of trucks were looted of food, which is one form of distribution in an emergency, anyway, isn’t it?) |

By CHRISTOPHER RHOADSPORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti—Scott Lewis hoped to deliver more than one million meals to Haitians on Wednesday via a 15-truck convoy brimming with beans and rice. Instead, "It was the convoy to nowhere," Mr. Lewis said. Well after dusk, the 52-year-old founder of a U.S. disaster-relief organization had barely delivered any food, other than some bags left at a missionary hospital, and a few more bags that got looted from the convoy as it crawled along crowded streets. Trucks conked out. Communication with the U.S. military broke down. Traffic snarled the streets. Hungry crowds made handing out food unsafe. |
