I feel so sorry for them.
I am awaiting word on whether or not a relative has survived. He was in the U.N. mission building when it collapsed and has not been heard from since the quake. (He was on a conference call with the U.N. in New York and with Ottawa when the phones went dead.)
Meanwhile, I fear that despair will drive the country into chaos without more immediate and effective relief.
