About the same in any disaster zone that involves money/aid. Sad part of the human condition.
My father's company had offices in a fair number of other countries and the stories that came back on ALL of them were virtually identical.

I think all we can achieve is on a very small level that would involve organizing people and resources to maximize the available monies.
Hell, I don't expect we'd get to do much more than help 1 small community get started on the rebuild process.
