Not enough for everyone, which the reporter said just made the rest of them more angry.

1. It's a start
I think these people on the ground will make sure to get it to the people that need it the most. Lets just hope there are more behind the drop so everyone will have something.

6. I don't know. Hopefully, they just keep dropping more. The CNN
reporter said they are just watching people dying and it is sick!

8. if they're dropping it by helicopter, there's only so much
they can take on one trip. Let's just hope the next load shows up fast.

3. The reporter just cut it short and said he had to get in their car.

I don't know what is going on but it didn't sound good.


The male producer did that.

Then they went to the female producer there - a few blocks away she said. She said they have seen dead bodies and they were asked if they wanted to see more. She said no.

10. the female producer sounds furious
Talking about the people sick and dying...the lack of food and water...how frightened the children are at night on that pitch-black sidewalk...

Before Wolf cut her off she said, "It's SICK", in reference to how people are being treated there.
