The immensity of the disaster is still becoming clearer daily.

It will help a lot. But we need more, we need much more, and we need it much faster.

The scarcest commodity at this time is time. All the rest money can buy, but money can't buy time.

The top priority overall is tents and emergency shelter. We need helicopters, a lot of helicopters and all types of helicopters.

The rationale for the only recovery plan is to make sure that there is no gap between the end of the relief operation and full-scale reconstruction.
