It’s true. I haven’t seen any sign of the UN, UNICEF or the Red Cross anywhere on the ground helping. Only sign of UNICEF has been at the local train station, perhaps handing out some emergency supplies like food and water. It is terrible that there really hasn’t been any sign of any international help in the area in response to this catastrophe. We understand it was most likely an attack and therefore many parties don’t want to seem like they are being involved, but this is still an environmental disaster, and one that is considered to still be a weapon of mass destruction, so they still have no choice to be involved, whether they like it or not, and are determined to be pussyfooting about it.
So far from what I’ve seen, it only looks like UNICEF has turned up in some places, but that is only as close as the train station in the area where people are being evacuated from. There is no sign of anyone from the UN, The Red Cross or UNICEF actually on the ground helping.
