Flood Relief at Cuddalore

It is usually not a good exp when you attend a relief work. More than the actual damage, govt apathy etc, what bothers me is the role and mindset one has to have to undertake such work. We went to a village some 40KM from chidambarram, which had a population of around 300 to 400 hundred families, it took us nearly 2 hrs to organise the crowd. Finaly we couldnt even distribute to more than 50 people, we had to leave fearing stampede. Crowd followed us for nearlly 10 kms running and incycle to get some breads, chapathy, bedsheets.

What can one do in such situation.
