I saw a report on CNN (do I watch anything else, I need to get out more!) which was uplifting and sad, too.

It was about how food packets were dropped on a village in Afghanistan at about 2:00 AM. They thought the were being attacked by unexploded bombs. They came out to see it was food packets from the USA. A man said one hit about several meters from his wife and she took ill from shock. He was happy though that his family had food. The recipients praised us for such kindness!

They said the dropping was not well spread out and most of it was falling in big bunches and the people who got them, ate there fill and sold the rest. Many villagers with no monet watched as the neighbors with food or money ate while they still starved. So sad!

You'd think they would pull together and share in this time of trouble.
