(sigh)

International aid meant for the victims of Hurricane Katrina is backing up at an Air Force base in Arkansas because relief lorries are being directed to the wrong places.

Civilian truck drivers hired to take food and supplies to Louisiana and Mississippi from Little Rock Air Force Base in Arkansas have been repeatedly diverted to places which already have what they need, according to Air Force Senior Master Sergeant Bret Archbold.

Forced to drive through the disaster zone, looking for places to drop off aid supplied by Russia, Italy, Spain and Britain…

…and Ireland: don’t forget the Irish aid…

…the drivers are taking two days instead of one to deliver their loads. Master Sergeant Archbold said the air base had been left in “lull status”.

Gack.
