In response to the Stand With Haiti video

What I fail to understand is why exactly does it take 2-3 days to even consider looking at a patient's wounds and providing them the aid that they deserved 16 DAYS AGO? From what I have been following, apparently all of this aid is being sent over to Haiti, yet with every video I watch... nothing. Absolutely nothing. All I see are a bunch of wounded people that have to WAIT and HOPE for medical treatment. It was mentioned in the video that many wait for spinal cord surgeries, just surgeries in general. If someone were to be told to wait in America for a surgery that was needed.. well of course that would be completely unheard of -- so why is it any different in Haiti? Those people are suffering. On the news this morning I saw people clawing at gates, desperate for just a bag of rice. With all the money and the food that is being provided to those people.. how come they aren't seeing any of it? Something just doesn't seem right to me. There are people laying there without limbs, probably in a great deal of pain, yet nothing seems to be done about it.
