We visited one, Wee Chong, which is in the northern part of the country or towards the north, and there you have people starving silently on the seventh floor of apartment buildings. And they're starving because no food is coming to the city. Previously there was some industrial production in these cities, these are after all supposed to be production centres but there is no fuel left in the country. Many of the coal mines were flooded in the rains of two years ago and a year ago. The cheap fuel that used to come from Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union isn't arriving.
Industrial production is at a standstill.
So obviously that means these people aren't producing anything. But there is no food coming from the countryside. But in the cities there is clear and very great want. On top of that want there is a shortage of medicines and other supplies that might be able to help them or halt the advance of their condition. Those medicines just don't exist either.
