Not sure where you're getting your info, but it's not correct. Some people are still waiting for electricity, yes. But I think most have it by now. There is water available to all now, not necessarily RUNNING water, but there is water available to all, through the water stations that are available. Gasoline and food are NOT in short supply, not at all. Many do not have enough MONEY for food, gasoline, etc., but that is a different question. Getting businesses GOING is what makes people be employed and make money to afford to survive.
