The disastrous earthquake rocked Haiti a week ago and we still don't know how many Haitians are affected. The problem is the time it has taken for food aid and water to be distributed. How patient do they expect the people to be?

| 28-2-2010 | I suggested that every country in an earthquake zone should get their people to fill up a load of empty plastic pop bottles with water, and store it close by,
In a few days time some people of Chile will have to drink dirty water, as there won't be any clean supplies, the lack of drinking wa...more | Gainsborough lad. |

| 13-2-2010 | I agree with what "Fairy" says, there is too much red tape, I was watching CNN about a week after it happened and a reporter asked the American military commander who was in charge at the airport if he knew that hunderds of people camped outside the airport had no food and no water and h...more | Comentor |
| 10-2-2010 | There is no excuse for how long it is taking for the aid to reach these people. You have individuals and small groups out there getting the job done with a lot less than what the U.N. , various militaries and large aid groups have at their disposal! When they go to disperse this food they claim tha...more | Fairy |
| 31-1-2010 | To Communitarian, I did not say "that the bigger countries want to stop the poorer countries being reliant and hence them being "slow" to respond". read my comment again !

| 29-1-2010 | MikeP is always whining on about " trolls ". It seems to be incomprehensible to him that other people can hold opinions different to his own. Perhaps he suffers from super-sensitivity? | Mr Hicks |
| 28-1-2010 | communitarian : I don't know why you dignify the ridiculous comments that some of these idiots write by replying to them. They are simply trolls and looking for a reaction. | MikeP |
| 28-1-2010 | I am an Aid worker and felt the absolute need to respond to some of the ignorance.
To at300 - many don't choose to live in an earthquake zone - they are born there often in extreme poverty and no other country will permit them to immigrate as they have no education etc.. poverty often dictates...more | communitarian |
| 25-1-2010 | The answer is simple. The infrastructure in Haiti, which is poor and made poorer by the earthquake, has slowed things down to a crawl. | dobbo996 |
| 24-1-2010 | They chose to live in an earthquake zone stabbing pins in dolls so no sympathy from me I'm afraid. | at300 |
| 23-1-2010 | Sick of hearing about Haiti now time to look after our own people first. | Charity begins at home |
| 21-1-2010 | Just to add to the idea of dropping thick work gloves onto earthquake zones, these could be made by prisoners around the world in their prisons beforehand, and then dropped by small parachute from hercules type aircraft in bundles of a dozen,
This could be done less than twenty four hours after ...more | Gainsborough lad. |
