This is all the equipment that this poor nation has to dig through the rubble....human hands.

My prayer: God help these people.

There’s many obstacles to getting equipment and aid to the people...they’re having ‘terrible’ and frequent after shocks, enough to have closed the airport for several hours temporarily, the roads are in bad condition or blocked, and it does take lots of time to corridinate this when you have many nations bringing in aid and equipment.....not to mention having to carve out ways to the equipment in where needed...additionally it’s a rugged terrain to navigate.

This should tell us all that in a crisis of this magnitude it takes time to get to people and you’re really on your own for a while.
