People just do not realize what kind of logistics it takes to mount a significant rescue effort.
In this case, you're talking about tons and tons of supplies coming from all over the world. Those coming from outside the United States have to stop in the Dominican Republic to refuel before landing in Haiti since there is no more kerosene there. The DR is about to run out of kerosene now unless there is a viable effort to supply them ASAP.
