This seems like a silly thing to be paying attention to, but it illustrates just how unmanageable the situation is. I was reading about Brett Farvre's family in Mississippi. His mother's house was destroyed, but his home survived. There are about 50 people using it as shelter, including his wife and children. They have no food, no water, no electricity, and they have absolutely no way to get any of it. This is the family of a man who makes several million dollars for putting his shoes on in the morning. And they are just as trapped and desparate as everyone else. Throwing money and resources into the area is only going to help so much for a while. All the caring in the world can't change the reality that much of the city and the people left are inaccessible and that there just aren't enough resources to cover all of that ground quickly enough. It's so hearbreaking.
