Forget diapers! Is a CNN camera crew really a necessity when they could have been replaced by supplies on the way in and refugees on the way out?!

Self-absorbed journalists are just empty luggage.

Agreed but at least the photographers sent pictures back for the world to see the desperation. I didn’t use paper diapers and my kids are in their 30s.

Yes they are. It is an unfortunate fact that in today's world, whether these people will get the help they need is largely determined by the extent to which their plight is publicized.

To be effective this publicity requres images and especially video.
