That is a picture of the enormous humanitarian aid requirements which will need to be put in place. John O'Shea of GOAL said in relation to the aid efforts – which the Minister of State touched on – that television footage on all the major networks on Wednesday night last provided a lesson in how not to deliver aid. If aid distribution is poorly planned, as the intervention in the Iraqi border town of Safwan appeared to be, then the one thing we can be assured is that only the strongest will receive aid. Opening the backs of a few trucks and letting a desperate crowd of people fight between themselves for aid demeans us all.
