"We are doing very little at the moment," U.N. emergency relief coordinator Jan Egeland acknowledged in New York.

I nominate this for the official UN slogan.

I second the motion. All in favor say Aye.

Relief is their stock in trade and the ONLY remaining activity they carry out with any efficiency (that's been questioned too) and they cannot even do this?

I saw this guy on TV earlier today and he was saying that the biggest problem they were having was "unsolicited assistance".
He said the airports are being clogged up by material and aid
workers that they hadn't planned for. Yesterday he was saying that all coordination should be done through the UN.
Hopefully the US military will take over and salvage the relief effort before all the food and medicine is squandered
by these incompetents.

This is the same guy that called us stingy.

"Given the scale and scope of this crisis, strong U.N. leadership is critical,"
