On the same day as that conference, the Pentagon rolled out the biggest military relief project in history. Why your inaccuracy?
In the meantime, here's what the
Financial Times says about the UN's response.
Quote:
The UN is being criticised for its failure to organise dozens of aid groups in and around Banda Aceh more than a week and a half after the tsunami hit the region, forcing some of them to bypass the international body and take action into their own hands to ensure aid reaches areas with the most urgent needs.
"If we wait for the UN to tell us what to do, we wouldn't do anything," said Abdul Hadi bin e Rashid, first admiral of the Malaysian navy at the country's operations tent at Banda Aceh airport.
"There are people who are hungry and angry. Why wait? So we just do it."
