The Geneva-based Doctors Without Borders said bluntly: "There is little sign of significant aid distribution."

The aid group complained of skewed priorities and a supply bottleneck at the U.S.-controlled airport. Doctors Without Borders spokesman Jason Cone said the U.S. military needed "to be clear on its prioritization of medical supplies and equipment."

From what I've seen, everything is going as right as it can. That's not the military's fault, the NGO's fault, the locals fault, or anybody's fault.

I'm a professional rescuer. We make simple plans, plan for those things to go wrong, and make plans to deal with those problems. Amateurs make complicated plans, and depend on them to go right. The people running this are professionals, they know what they're doing. The people in the news are amateurs.
