Sky interviewing rep from Mercy Corps, Cassandra Nelson. She is giving intelligent answers (American! Redhead!) saying it's not a good idea to go in when the area's still hot. She tells how before they do humanitarian aid, first have to do a quick assessment. She's saying that there's no large displacement of people.

Q: Kuwaiti Red Crescent delivery was a disaster yesterday?

A: MC Corps rep: talks about going door-to-door and give vouchers. She's talking about long-term delivery also. Need to rebuild ability to maintain their livelihood so that they aren't dependent on handouts.

Very intelligent. You go, girl!
