[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

15,000 tons (in U.S. measurements) is 30,000,000 pounds of food supplies. If an average Haitian eats 10 pounds of that food in a week, and there are close to 3,000,000 Haitians that are in need of aid, then the food will feed those that need it for a week.

So why sit on it?

First, the UN Mission was destroyed and many of the UN workers were killed or are still missing, so they couldn't release it.

Second, Bureaucratic red-tape would have taken days if not weeks to cut through, so it likely would have never been released.

I don't think it is “looting” if people break into a building to take what was given to them to live but government policy said they couldn't have yet.

However, hang each and every person selling food out of a UN marked bag.
