to get people out of NO...Says Desperate SOS. Reporter says that National Guard dropped a few dozen MRE's and some water.

Reporter now saying thousand so sick, elderly down there. Reporter Kim something says THERE'S NO ONE IN CHARGE....No light no generator...Crying Children, People Dying...She says "Wolf, It's SICK."

She says she's seen dead bodies and they wanted to show her more bodies but she didn't want to see them. Wolf says these are starving people and Kim says folks having to break into stores to get a little.

Wolf saying these are the poorest of the poor who didn want to get out or couldn't. Kim (reporter) says "Wolf these are people who worked for a living they worked to support their familys but they had NO TRANSPORTATION to GET OUT.

Now they've gone to Sanjay Gupta and he's saying that Doctors are being fired on are firing on Doctors trying to evacuate patients from hospitals. They don't know who did the shooting.

Wolf is now back to "snipers and looters."

7. Those trapped are largely poor and largely Black.

Disproportionately so, given the population. It's so shameful that working class people are treated as valueless while the rich get every luxury.
