Thanks - as always - for the translation. The American approach to this sort of thing is wasteful, ad hoc, and disorganized, and succeeds in saving lives. The UN approach is planned, efficient, and will provide precisely the food and resources these people need...after they've been dead for three days. There's a good deal to be said for inefficiency...
You're welcome.
I agree with you completely about having the rescue plan perfected and ready to be implemented three days after the last survivor has died from starvation.
Consensus building, isn't that what they call it?
