It also makes me quite sure that any donation probably wouldn't go to the people that need it. The latest reports say that foreign aid workers are not being allowed into the country to help and that they cannot even apply for visas until Tuesday next week. Reuters are reporting their actions so far as a <strong>generally feeble response</strong>.
