I just don't understand why food and water cannot be airlifted to these poor poor desperate people.

Because the helicopters are being shot at.

Those people waiting on the interstate aren't shooting at anybody. That interstate connects to another interstate. They've been there for DAYS! Shepard Smith has been reporting from there for DAYS!
I don't understand why a couple of convoys of trucks weren't sent there days ago with loads of food and water.
The Governor and FEMA simply cannot get their heads out of their asses and see what is on the news and get something done to help those people.
I know the buses are on their way. But if it takes 2 more days to get to those people on the interstate, their children (and many of the adults) will be dead in the meantime.
