Totally agree that people who are starving will do what they need to do in order to survive. I was just suggesting a reason why the UN hasn’t responded.

As they didn’t state how much was taken, I would like to assume that someone was just feeding his kids.A

It all was taken months ago.

UN employees stole the food entrusted to them and the profits are lining their pockets.

Now with the earthquake what can they say but, "Hey it was looted!"

How could individuals carry off 15,000 tons of food in their hands? In three days? Show me the satellite pictures of that mob.

What was that line from “Blood Diamonds”? TIA—This Is Africa. Break your hearts trying to fix, and you can’t fix. The only thing that would work would be to make it a colony of the US, occupy it for twenty years, and that would make us the gad guy.

The Lord helps those who help themselves.

I defy you to find this in the Scriptures.

You are correct. No such thing is quoted in the bible.

Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

Eph 4:28

Guess the looters have rendered that point moot, huh?
