    1. The problem is that you still have military operations going on right now... Military strikes by the military junta.
    2. You've got 20 million people in need of humanitarian aid before this earthquake hit. Three and a half million internally displaced persons before the earthquake hit. Half the population falling into poverty before the earthquake hit. So already you have a very, very difficult situation.
