[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 333986, member: 59"] I don't understand why that little girl had to die. There was a CNN reporter with her the entire time. It's not like no one knew where she was. The Comfort ship is off shore. There are helicopters that have rescued people from more precarious situations. Why couldn't they lift her into a helicopter and take her to the ship where she possible could have been saved? Didn't anyone on that ship watch CNN to know this little girl needed help? As far at the doctors being removed form that hospital, there is going to be an investigation into that. Reports are that security was not an issue. There is little coordinationed effort between the UN and US. The effort as far as ther US is concerned is still rescue. The UN does not have the same priority. Dr. Gupta was the onluy doctorthat remained at the hosiptal and he claims there are a lot of questions that need to be answered here. I would like to see him be in charge of medical operations. It appears we (as a world, not one country) have learned nothing from the natural diasters that we have dealt with in the past. We must come together and develop a plan that can quickly be put into action when a tragedy strikes. It's not like we don't know what happens when people go without food and water for several days. I thought/hoped that after Katrina we would have learned some things that would prevent some of the horror and further tragedy that comes after a disaster. Nancy P.S. I just saw that the USNS Comfort ship just left Maryland and will take a couple days to get to Haiti. Another question then, why did it take so long for this ship to go into action? It's just so frustrating that help is not coming sonner. [/QUOTE]
