ALL
I'm trying to figure this out-this whole seen does not make sense to me. A town of 1 million people is down to 100,000 and there is not enough food- especially a tourist town that caters to tourist (read lots of restaruants etc???
The place should be full of food. Seems like some people are spending more time stealing tv's and jewelery when they should be going on planned food runs.
Most of the food is underwater and either inaccessible or destroyed. Many hotels, hospitals, and other facilities that have large food service operations, have those operations primarily on the first floor -- wiped out in most cases. Store shelves have all been emptied, with most of the food from them eaten, and a little no doubt hoarded by the few people who have anywhere to hoard it. Relief workers are bringing in food and water as fast as they can, but surrounding areas are also in bad shape, there's only one passable road in/out of the city, and many of the helicopters available are too busy evacuating hospital patients and critically ill or wounded people, and dropping sandbags on the levees, to be used for transporting supplies. Both airports are underwater.
