Which is another reason I say get supplies for up to 2 weeks.. not 2-3 days..

I don't know where the Israeli hospitals are set up - I have heard the airport is damaged, ports damaged, roads damages and supplies have to be flown in by helicopters.. haven't we got a ship off the island that's more of a floating hospital?

Also chaos and gangs roaming the streets - NOT a safe place - I don't know that I trust the news media on this one - they say pretty much anything to sell ratings - I'd probably have to see what they said - or maybe we were more concerned about food, water, rescue teams and gang control while someone else was setting up the hospitals..

A death toll of over 200,000 doesn't surprise me in the least.. I knew that nearly right away seeing the damage.. when an entire city of 2 million collapses.. and a lot of concrete - I think the worst picture I saw was the upper body of a (probably dead) girl with collapsed concrete from her hips down.. just absolutely flat... unreal.
