Humanitarian Logistics in Haiti

Thanks to a combination of substantial global generosity with aid money and a very bad infrastructure situation in Haiti, logistical bottlenecks rather than a lack of material resources are now the main obstacle to helping people in Haiti. It’s a reminder that, per Felix Salmon, if you feel moved by a tragedy of this sort it often makes sense to go donate to some worthy charity that’s not specifically focused on the in-the-news disaster.
