Haiti's Holocaust

By definiton, a holocaust is an act of mass destruction and loss of life (especially in war or by fire).... To the survivors of the Haiti earthquake their holocaust is coming in the aftermath.... The help that $100M donated can posse up is just not enough help for the demand of the people.... People that survived are dying from their injuries and some are losing their lives from the gangrene overtaking their body.... At times, the UN evacuated the doctors from the makeshift hospitals for security purposes but left the survivors behind to die.... AC360 was showing live footage of CNN Medic Sanjay Gupta being the only doctor left at these hospitals.... If security was of importance then a military parameter should have been built.... One doctor was even on record stating that we should be embarrased to be Americans because of how we allow the situation to get this bad..... $100M has been raised so far for Haiti and the output of the situation isn't a logical outcome.... We have donated enough money to see an above average rescue and support.... A Disaster Response Team should have been shipped out the day of the earthquake.... Ships with relief effort equipment along with food and water should be a standard for every nation.... Maybe I am "reaching" with what I think is adequate help for any situation.... But if compassion is the foundation of our existence then we need to take in account of all the disasters possible and have preparations ready for that situation.... Today is day six and the vital medicine and equipment needed for the relief efforts is still short of desired....
