Kind of seems to me that you are setting them up and expected them not to help... I actually think their response was pretty reasonable. Where they are presently working there is nothing. By the time they get here things will probably be under control. If they did come it would be in the nature of a publicity exercise to prove they 'cared' about us. They are needed more elsewhere.
There is a lot of help suiting up and heading south. Thousands of out-of-state national guard and emergency personnel. That will be followed by all of the NGO's, Red Cross, Salvation Army etc.
We are better prepared to handle this kind of disaster than anybody else in the world. It makes no sense for somebody to send a few pallets of Evian from across the world.
Exactly. Why should take staff out of areas where the population is basically always in dire straits, to help in a place which is quite capable of helping itself, and whose desperate hurricane victims will be carted off within a few days to better quarters and food than MSF's patients have ever or will ever see? They're dealing with mass starvation scenarios in places where nearly the whole population is always on the brink of starvation for their whole lives. I see no reason why they should drop that to go help a group of mostly way overweight people who will be resuming their overeating within days, and will also have access to excellent medical care within days. More people would die of starvation and easily curable illnesses in the countries they'd be leaving, just in the time it took them to fly over here, than will die from the entire aftermath of the hurricane.
