Apparently they, we, the world, does have cargo planes loaded and LANDED at the only airstrip (ONE runway) in the immediate area. The wharehouses were stored food for a hurricane, by the way.

The problem is one of logistics. The airport was SO tied up with planes circling, planes parked, planes trying to take off they had to STOP any more planes from even trying to come in. The roads are toast, the trucks can't get the food from the airport to town. I say massive helicopter drops of food and water is one way to get-r-done NOW!

Last I heard convoys were being formed in the Dominican Republic and were going to attempt to drive into the area.
