Comparing the situation to post-Tsunami Aceh is a stark contrast indeed. Road and transportation infrastructure was poor before the disaster, one can only iagine the state of it now and how it will be slowing the aid effort.
Apparently they are still only accepting supplies and humanitarian teams from "friendly Asian countries" in the main.
All the while in an attempt to win favour we have unpleasant sight of aid agencies, UN officials, International Development ministers, groveling to the very same people who are costing lives.
