The part you make reference to is in the 6th paragraph below, I believe. Since it's an online translation, sorry, but it's not perfect. Here it is:
"Criticism at the crisis management grows.
Also four days after the hurricane "Katrina" is in the disaster area at the US gulf coast still no improvement in view. Corpses are appropriate in the roads, for armed Pluenderer attack also the auxiliary workers. Thousands wait with increasing danger of epidemics still desperately for assistance. Are missing food, drinking water, medicines and capacities, in order to transport survivors from the areas.
The inundated new Orleans besides by strong explosions was shaken. After medium reports they occurred in a chemistry factory on the Mississippi bank. The developed smoke is however not poisonous, it was said. A first light view for the city was the arrival of a food convoy with the congress center of new Orleans, where thousands homeless people are. Soldiers supervised the distribution of the goods.
In view of the catastrophic situation the displeasure grows starting relief work over those sluggishly. Mayor Ray Nagin made opposite a radiosender air for his annoyance: "I need police reinforcement, I need troops, I need penalty", said he. "someone must come condemned and solve these questions on the place!". With view of the government in Washington he said: "those do not have a pale glow, which goes off". Several black congressional representatives accused to the US government to have much too slowly reacted. They charged it more or less clearly in addition that the black ones, which are affected by the misfortune mainly, as humans of second class were treated.
ARD-correspondent Michael Heussen describes the auxiliary efforts in new Orleans as apparently bad coordinated. It is hardly understandable, why it lasts so long to refugees is removed and auxiliary supplies to arrive, so Heussen. The approach road into the city is to be mastered at some places even with usual vehicles.
US president George W. Bush granted that the federal assistance for the victims of the hurricane started so far only insufficiently. The results are "not acceptable", said Bush. It insured at the same time: "we will get the situation into the grasp".
Bush attendance medium-effectively inszeniertBush, which is on a route by the crisis region, bereiste mobile into Alabama and the place Biloxi in Mississippi. Later it is expected on the airport by new Orleans. Pool of broadcasting corporations correspondent Christine Adelhardt, which experienced Bushs visite in Biloxi, showed up in the news of the day shocked over the extent of the production of his appearance. With the president the clearing vehicles and corpse search troop came, which had been missed in Biloxi for days. They would not have worked however, where the victims were, but only provided for medium-effective pictures in more remote parts of the place, avowed it.
National guard is on Pluenderer shoot under the impression of the increasing force on the roads of new Orleans gave the Gouverneurin of Louis IANA, Kathleen Blanco, the engaging national guard permission also for shooting at Pluenderer and other law crushers. According to CNN the conditions in new Orleans remind of civil war scenes. Policemen reported of armed gangs, which attack humans. Numerous security forceses did not appear any more at the same time to the service. Each fifth policeman already acknowledged the service. Altogether Blanco had requested 40,000 Nationalgardisten, in order to get the situation into the grasp. 12.000 of it already is in the use.
Evacuation further with difficulty
The Gouverneurin counts on the fact that still up to 300.000 humans in the region of new Orleans it sticks and is not sufficiently supplied. The evacuation of the homeless people becomes however further difficult. Reporters reported of partly brutal fights for places in penalties. In 500 kilometers removed "astrodomes" in Houston in Texas in the meantime the first refugees were rejected, because the building is overcrowded. Now Sant Antonio prepares for ten thousands of refugees. The texanische city lies 800 kilometers far away from the disaster area.
Offers of help from all WeltDie authorities reminded despite the course-sharpened situation to the peace. The assistance is on the way beside more thirty states offered also UN and NATO, physician team, boats, airplanes, tents, to send covers and generators. US president Bush said however, the USA would get along alone. The speaker of the State Department, Sean McCormack, explained which wanted to accept the USA all offers of help, "those easier the difficult, tragic situation of humans" made.
In consequence of the hurricane "Katrina" were explained in the meantime 234,000 square kilometers along the gulf coast as disaster areas, a surface about as largely as Great Britain. The authorities expect the exact number thousand victims, can be recognized however not yet approximately."
