After the terrible earthquake in Haiti, Oscar, who is a doctor, immediately made himself available to help. He should be leaving Saturday from Milan to go to the Island that was devastated, but yesterday the orders of the head of the humanitarian organization arrived: everything will be pushed back to the beginning of February.
His first reaction was disappointment, due to feelings of helplessness in being able to these people in great need, but objectively it doesn’t make sense to leave without even knowing what there is to do. There are no suitable facilities to house the Italian doctors, operating rooms are few and inadequate, and also the violence and looting that taking place everywhere, do not guarantee safety for those going to lend a hand. It is better to wait until someone takes the lead in organizing the relief effort, hoping they do so soon. The passing of time does not help those who are suffering.
