Red Cross, according to this story, is so incompetent that it doesn't know how to deploy its workers. That is something that it should have a lot of expertise in. And as you said, it hurts the honest charities, that do know what they are doing. This is truly an ugly and significant story in my opinion. Also, among most people, the Red Cross has a sterling reputation of helping others and being there. I hope everyone reads this.
