"But the built-in bottlenecks of this desperately poor, underdeveloped nation and the sheer scale of the catastrophe still left many of the hundreds of thousands of victims without help. The U.S. military reported a waiting list of 1,400 international relief flights seeking to land on Port-au-Prince's single runway, where 120 to 140 flights were arriving daily."

9 days after the fact.

There are tons of supplies sitting on the tarmac at the airport. Where they're totally useless. Antibiotics, analgesics, anything they need. They're not getting to the facilities where they're needed.

You may recall in NOLA -- tons of food and water sitting at the airport while starving, thirsty people begged for it on Convention Center Blvd.

Difficult problems but it is even more difficult to understand why someone can't spare a HV to deliver supplies to where they're needed.
