2. Thank you so much, blm!

Any help to raise the profile of this gigantic humanitarian catastrophe that's still unfolding will be very much appreciated!

3. Your posts are not about YOU, they're about HUMANITY.....too bad more don't get this, T.

They're letting corporate media direct their interests more than they will admit.....sadly.

5. Unfortunately it seems they are.

I find it quite astonishing and an extraordinary example of how powerful the corporate media's grip on people's minds is.

4. Thank you for including the link to Sanjay Gupta's

special on this. His interview with the woman who has lost two children already and is worried about a third child who is now sick, was devastating. Imagine losing two of your children and not even being able to just mourn as you find yourself trying to save the rest of your family from the floods, from hunger and illness.

I really wish the world would do more about this situation before the death toll rises as a result of lack of food and medical care.

7. The health concerns will be tragically overwhelming, that's for sure.
