Looters have broken into U.N. food warehouses in Haiti's crumbled capital, an official said Friday, as security and logistical challenges mounted for groups trying to feed at least 2 million people reeling from a devastating earthquake.
The U.N. World Food Program had 15,000 tons of food aid in Haiti prior to Tuesday's 7.0-magnitude earthquake, stocks designed for hurricane relief. Spokeswoman Emilia Casella said local partners reported that the U.N. warehouse in Port-au-Prince's Cite Soleil neighborhood was looted but the agency did not know how much aid was stolen or exactly when it was taken.

Totally agree that people who are starving will do what they need to do in order to survive. I was just suggesting a reason why the UN hasn’t responded.
UN employees stole the food entrusted to them and the profits are lining their pockets.
Now with the earthquake what can they say but, "Hey it was looted!"
How could individuals carry off 15,000 tons of food in their hands? In three days? Show me the satellite pictures of that mob.
who would you propose distribute it, and how?
Good Lord, proof reading is our friend. Yes, I meant UN personnell, the thieving, low lifes.
What was that line from “Blood Diamonds”? TIA—This Is Africa. Break your hearts trying to fix, and you can’t fix. The only thing that would work would be to make it a colony of the US, occupy it for twenty years, and that would make us the gad guy.
Entirely understandable.
Whoa!
That is a whole different picture.
I defy you to find this in the Scriptures.
Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
Eph 4:28
Guess the looters have rendered that point moot, huh?
