Ron Jeremy, John Holmes and Jenna Jameson are personal favorites, though.
Yemen has been on the media profile because of the bomber, worries about counter-terrorism and al-Qaeda, and the fragility of Yemen more broadly, but very little attention is being paid to the humanitarian situation
If that was so with people like(UN Emergency Relief Coordinator) John Holmes (who visited Sri Lanka) the delay in giving us that facility gives reason to believe its a conspiracy
The humanitarian situation is just getting worse without any doubt ... Needs are great and in danger of not being met because the international community, the donors, have not responded as we would have hoped.
Shelter is top priority. We are getting material in and distributing it as fast as we possibly can
This is a major challenge. We don't have a magic solution. Hurricanes have caused major disasters in Haiti before ... It will probably be a year or two before we can get people back in proper construction.
There is not really an issue there about their presence, they're not trying to dominate the country militarily, they don't have any agenda other than simply the aid operation
It's not the coordination that's been an issue, it's just the sheer practical difficulty of getting things to happen on the scale you need quickly enough
It has been slower than anyone hoped or expected
This will involve the distribution of some 10 million kilos of rice to over 400,000 households, which is the equivalent of 2 million people. This is just in the Port-au-Prince area

We have a long way to go before we can feel satisfied about that
It’s something that is being recognized now as a serious situation
We still have a huge distance to go
The relief effort is beginning to get there, but we still have a huge distance to go, and this operation will need to continue long after the television crews have gone home and the troops have returned to their normal duties
We need significantly more
Anybody who's got those tents, get in touch with us
The main organizations desperately need funding to sustain their operations beyond the first weeks ... Some critical areas remain very badly funded, including early recovery and its vital cash-for-work component as well as agriculture.
The biggest challenge of all will be to keep the wider international community focused on the rebuilding for the long term, and the creation of a stronger, more independent, and more resilient Haitian society for the future. The long-suffering people of Haiti deserve no less
The biggest challenge of all will be to keep the wider international community focused on the rebuilding for the long term, and the creation of a stronger, more independent, and more resilient Haitian society for the future. The long-suffering people of Haiti deserve no less
We badly need an immediate, transitional shelter solution--rapidly built temporary housing on a large scale, which can be much more resilient to rain and hurricanes than tents
The relief effort is beginning to get there, but we still have a huge distance to go. And this operation will need to continue long after the television crews have gone home and the troops have returned to their normal duties
We are now planning on at least 12 months
This is massive international effort and will continue to be a massive international effort ... We are working positively and cooperatively together.
