The worse flooding since '69, loss of food, dangerous floods, and disease inevitable. All during a time when major contributors are cutting back on donations. This is going to get very bad for these countries. Thanks for the information Tom.

Yes and if we were growing more crops and not raising animals for food we would most likely have extra plant food to send to help these poeple.

This is getting bad. I feel so bad for these poeple.
