400,000 in just weeks; is that even logistically possible? or an embellishment from the media. I don't know, but that number makes the caravan coming up from Mexico seem rather small in comparison. |

That whole situation is astonishing. I can't even understand how they're feeding so many people in an area where the infrastructure is so weak. It's one thing if they can move around and work, but once you have over a million people in camps, not producing food, you have to ship in a million people's worth of food – daily. So it's "easy" to move 400,000 people. Just quit letting NGOs feed them, they'll have to move to the place where NGOs are allowed to feed them. If some are lost along the way no one will know, because the only people who care are struggling to feed the people who got to the new camp. The situation in South Sudan has completely different causes, and the same result. |
