Kofi Annan is assuring victims of the massive earthquake/tsunamis overseas that help is on the way:

The United Nations is sending special teams to countries hit by the killer quake and the tsunami waves, even as all UNICEF offices in the quake-hit region have been mobilised to support relief efforts.

“UN disaster assessment and coordination teams are being dispatched throughout the region to work with the governments of affected countries in providing rescue and relief assistance,” said a spokesman of UN Secretary on Sunday.

Let’s pray that the U.N.’s “help” doesn’t look like this again.
