As usual, one knows not whom to believe. This is what Aljazeera is reporting:
"The government said that it had activated an emergency plan to bring essential supplies. The military was distributing 100,000 food packages and 800,000 litres of water, with more supplies on the way, a statement said."
Additionally, there are multiple photos of the destruction on this and other news services.
It may be observed that this is a drop in the bucket, but, also to be noted, there was no warning that this storm was going to ramp up the way it did.
In the meantime, the horrors are, for many of us, incomprehensible.
