Friendly countries have come out in support by contributing to the relief efforts, and there is hope that the process would continue. International agencies, with relevant expertise, may do a better job of estimating the worth of the losses if the government so requests. If mere ‘lip service’ could somehow be monetised, the poor would have received trillions by now. It is time for our own affluent to try to move beyond lip service and do something concrete. Also, the disbursement of aid received from international and local sources should be overseen by people with a proven track record of integrity.
