Some articles I'm seeing say that the aid isn't coming fast enough. I'm sure that if I were on the disaster sites, I'd think that too...but on the other hand, one has to look at the distances that have to be covered...the supplies it takes, and the time it takes to get them loaded, and the necessary numbers of people ready and loaded with their equipment to go....The disaster happened Sunday morning. This minute it is less than 96 hours later.

Timeliness varies depending on the service provided. The immediate need was for antibiotics and drinking water. That's key to stemming further massive loss of life. If you haven't gotten your antibiotics to the people who need them in ninety six hours, you might as well put them back in storage, write off all those who are wounded, and concentrate your efforts on something else like home building materials, which are still useful after weeks and months, for those who are lucky enough to survive. Ninety six hours is too late for too many.
