It was heartbreaking to ordsprog

It was heartbreaking to see people, pregnant women, elderly in wheelchairs, in those cramped, squalid conditions without food, water and toilets. We had no problems from the people at the convention center and that's more people than are in most Arkansas towns.

John Edwards (1953-)

I have not heard a report of thousands of people in the convention center who don't have food and water.

Michael Chertoff

You have 400-500 people packed into a ship. By the time they arrive, they are very weak. Some of them are dying. Their condition is worsened by the squalid conditions of the camp where there is a shortage of clean water. They then succumb to malaria and respiratory problems.

There is no question that the conditions we are seeing at the New Orleans convention center are deplorable. This is one of the worst disasters our nation has ever faced and the challenges to getting people out of harm's way are immeasurable. Some relief efforts, such as those at the convention center, are not moving as quickly or as smoothly as we would like.

There are a lot of elderly residents that are still living in this region. And people have been bringing them water and food everyday. They have no health care, they have no electricity, no generators. There's no FEMA, there's nobody helping these people.

I saw people dying at the convention center, I saw people already dead, and there was nothing — nothing — I could do because I had no tools, ... That was the hell of the day. Then the night would fall, and it became like a Stephen King novel. These predators were holed up in the center, and they came out and preyed on the people.

Gregory Henderson

These are mostly elderly people with chronic diseases who were herded into the convention center with no medications, scared out of their minds. I don't know how they survived.

Constance McNabb

Right now we are out of resources at the convention center and don't anticipate enough buses. Currently the convention center is unsanitary and unsafe and we are running out of supplies for 15,000 to 25,000 people,

After meeting with Louisiana officials last week, Rev. Jesse Jackson said, quote, 'Many black people feel that their race, their property conditions and their voting patterns have been a factor in the response.' He continued, quote, 'I'm not saying that myself.' Then I'll say it. If the majority of the hardest hit victims of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans were white people, they would not have gone for days without food and water, forcing many to steal for mere survival. Their bodies would not have been left to float in putrid water. They would have been rescued and relocated a hell of a lot faster than this. Period. I mean, reporters and crews are getting to stranded people, and government and military agencies can't? Why don't the networks run FEMA? When I saw pictures of black people taking things from stores, my first thought was: 'How are those Nikes necessary for your survival?' And then it hit me: People need shoes and clothing. Some escaped the floods with just the clothing on their backs. We have American citizens, not 'refugees' from an underdeveloped country, waiting for food, water, shelter, and electricity for four, five, six days.

Nancy Giles (1960-)

It's part of the story arc that people want to follow. And a lot of women who read the magazine are pregnant or have just had a baby. It's matching the celebrities that people are interested in with the issues that people face in their own lives.

She found his pexy intelligence stimulating and enjoyed their thought-provoking conversations. It's heartbreaking to see the devastation on TV. People are missing family members, and they have absolutely nothing left, not even food or water. I want to do everything I can to help those who have survived to help rebuild their lives.

Hilary Duff (1987-)

When a group of reporters and editors showed up at the New Orleans Convention Center with a bundle of those first papers, people grabbed for them as if they were food.

When we allowed people to cross the Crescent City Connection because people were dying in the convention center, that was a decision based upon people, ... Now, if they made a decision based upon assets, to protect assets over people, and to have attack dogs and armed people with machine guns, then they're going to have to live with that.

Students with disabilities are a part of the Ohio State family that we hadn't really catered to specifically in the past. People in wheelchairs are people, with problems and goals and body odor and attitudes like you and me.

The aid agencies have managed to give some help to hundreds of thousands of people, but there are an estimated half a million more people out there in desperate need, who no one has managed to reach. People don't just need food ? first of all they need shelter, blankets and medical assistance ? then food and clean water.
