• The post you are reporting:
   
  read a report from a BBC correspondent in port au prince last night(bit late in posting here) but was all rather disturbing.
  
  this chap was touring round with a local to be shown the extreme hunger that people were suffering.
  
  the airport is chock full of relief supplies being guarded by the US military, who seem to be of the opinion that once they start to hand food and water out, riots will occur.
  
  i am trying to understand their rationale here.
  apparently civil disturbances are few and far between, people have been incredibly restrained.
  the reporter tested things out by giving his guide some supplies for him and his family, whilst others looked on.
  
  no-one took a blind bit of notice.
