Each day since the hurricane hit it seems to get worse. I've just spent the past hour reading the paper and I tell you I am in utter shock at the images I saw and the articles I've read. There are people stranded in the superdome having had no food or water for three days. There are dead people floating by and sitting in wheelchairs as if forgotten. There are riots for food from aid groups. Looting. Rape. Murder. What country is this? I keep thinking about the stories coming out of New Orleans. Most of the city is black and a quarter of the city is poor. The people who could not evacuate, who are still there or who are trying to get out are the most vulnerable. These are poor people - women, the elderly and children, the sick. I wish there was something I could do. We are giving money to the Red Cross but it doesn't seem like its enough. My heart aches for these people.
