Haiti Relief Efforts Still Struggling

Food and water distribution in Haiti has been described by U.S. military commanders as being uneven. In a Voice of America article on the issue:

U.S. military commanders overseeing food and water distribution in Haiti acknowledged Thursday that the effort remains uneven and that there are places they still have not been able to reach. Food prices on the open market are surging, causing tempers to flare.

Although there is a massive relief effort going on in Haiti, there are still places that haven't received any aid at all. The article continues to say that a couple of times there have been instances of running out of food and supplies to give to citizens because they had not anticipated the demand at each distribution site. And although the country's food networks have restarted, the prices of food have increased tremendously, angering many people and obviously not helping the situation. Hopefully we can get our act together and start providing a more thorough of a relief effort that will more effectively provide the aid that Haitian citizens need right now.
