The Catastrophe In New Orleans

The levee at New Orleans broke and flooded the town. Many evacuated from the diaster scene. Despair on 'refugee" Highway that they "begged, limped, cried". There was absolutely no supplies of food, many was hungy, no shelter from scorching sun which left their throats parched and dry. Why did help took so long? Why is there no aid to save them from this calamity? Many died while awaiting for help to arrive. We must try to help these suffering people by perhaps donating?
