This is what happens when some major nature caused disaster hits a Third World country. Cardboard, tin, and pallets do not make for strong construction materials.
Wow. Debt Free evidently wants to claim America gives and others don’t. We actually rank #5 on the World Giving Index — not bad, but a long way from “we help, others don’t.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Giving_IndexAnd Enoki apparently wants to blame the poverty-stricken people for having their homes destroyed because they can’t afford to build mansions.Hope you guys don’t consider yourselves Christians. I remember the World Series Earthquake: many Japanese were watching when it hit, and immediately figured out what had happened (from much experience), and aid started flooding to US from THEM.
Fortunately. there are North Americans such as martens, Motivemagus and Stipple that uphold your nation’s honour and why I refuse to tar all your compatriots with the same brush as I do with the troll & Enoki above. There are such vermin in all nations.
Nations from all over the world are contributing with what they can, as it should be. I support MSF & the international red cross.
Hmm, Enoki, was being a U.S. territory for many years, and then dependent on the U.S. military to sustain the economy for many more the reason they’re “third world”?
BTW, know people who live there, and another who is in the states, but maintains a second home there. I hope those families are all “okay”, considering getting hit by the most severe storm, EVER, not just “historically”.
Also on another post, did note that my son’s proudest moments in the Navy were when providing humanitarian relief, not war.
BTW: the lethality of this storm is considerably less than it could have been, because the residents heeded warnings and went to higher ground, and more “protected” areas. In the future, near, as well as distant, more high ground will be needed, but some nations just don’t HAVE ANY!
Martens: I’m sure you’re also aware of the millions of acres of habitat loss to agriculture, condominiums, and poor forest management that has also not only wiped out wildlife habitat, but also contributed to that climate change: it is NOT all just about CO2 concentrations! NBC news is running a program right this minute on polar bear problems in Churchill, and of course the sea ice problem.

The Canadian government is sending a field hospital and matching private donations.
