#1 Any news on how many aircraft with medics that Germany, France, Canada, Venezuela, Iran and the UN sent?

#3 This World Socialist article gives the clear implication America has offered nothing but its sympathy. This is a lie.

Though my favorite part of the article concerns a local official, Rafiqul Islam who - you may need to sit down for this - is complaining that free food and shelter is not arriving fast enough. Heaven forbid anyone living in the path of cyclones that have killed a million million people at a go might, for example, learn to PREPARE for the next one.

No word on what World Socialist is contributing to the cause of "the impoverished masses" of Bangladesh.
