Yeah. I got this via a link off Making Light in which someone who knows what they're talking about (http://michaelkeizer.com/humourless/2010/logistics-questions-around-the-haiti-earthquake/) explains the logistics problems of something like the Haiti relief effort, which is interesting reading. (I didn't know that after the 2004 tsunami Indonesia had to spend a fortune disposing of unwanted aid goods due to, yep, logistics failures).
