Better question is why are they charging money for food at a time like this...?
I don't understand...
There is emergency food and water available- in Tokyo and other large surrounding cities. As I stated earlier, my guess is that many areas devastated by the tsunamis to the north of Tokyo are just too radioactive right now to justify sending rescue aid in.edit on 20-3-2011 by MedievalGhost because: (no reason given)

All the while they have numerous helicopters flying and water trucks with personell supplied for many hours a day, directly in the area of source where this radiation is at its highest levels,
there is no excuse for not providing all neccessary resources for the survival of peoples emergency needs, common requirements such as clean water and radiation free food should be high priority in supply to those living in areas away from the main hubs, or at the very least be given the support to evacute from these zones of no go to much safer and resource available places of residence.edit on 20-3-2011 by redgy because: spelling mistakes

It's quite sad, cause the U.N/NATO are launching hundreds of missiles into Libya in order to kill people, I'm pretty sure they've launched over $100 million worth of missiles and bombs..now
I bet the starving people of Japan could have used all of that in the form of food and water.
welcome to planet Earth folks

It seems they are holding money back to help whoever survives this rather than helping these people survive.

This is beyond pathetic. I know the rescuers- including military- are all overwhelmed, but there is absolutely no excuse for them to not be dropping food and water supplies off by military helicopters. They have had over a week to do this, and many areas have had nothing dropped off. Nothing.
Why? Are certain areas affected by the tsunami too radioactive? One has to wonder.

Have heard reports that UNICEF Japan has made statements that some of the proceeds of the earthquake/tsunami relief may be used for other causes. Wish one could simply send food over there.
