contrary to most beliefs that more resource is still needed, most of them especially drinking water are still in warehouses undistributed due to lack of coordination in distributing aid to people in need.

i have seen on the tellie (malaysian news) & the daily reports from MERCY malaysia (non-profitable group that is comprised of doctors & professional meds) that went out to Acheh to help in taking care of survivors. they reported that the biggest problems are distributions, not the lack of resourse. well it doesn't mean they don't need more medication, water, clothing but u know what i mean, i hope. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

& then there's this problem called aid-with-strings-attached. many people from all over the world have contributed & had all that come without anyone pinching it, i believe it will be a good start to help the victims to rebuild their lives. this is just rumours for now but i think it may become apparent soon; some countries are trying to get some contract out of the inflicted countries so that rebuilding effort will include the said donors should they accept the aid.

i hope that's not true. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> can they just give whole-heartedly?
