I wonder why so much effort goes into the millitary, and so little into 
the development and deployment of disaster relief. They happen pretty 
often, and a lot of people dies in the aftermath by diseases.

Flying short range helicopters with small amounts of suplies, and 
handing them out manually looks unbelievable uneffective.

A world that can develop a-bombs, can shurely develop more efficient 
approaches for quick disaster relief.

Perhaps something like a fleet of cargo planes, that can fly directly 
and carbet bomb remote areas with food, water, medicine, tools and 
comunication devices.
