Nope, I'm not, and no I can't understand what it's like to live in that level of poverty. But then I'm not mouthing off on the internet advocating that we let these people die either.

Sounds pretty condemning to me.

These people will be relocated either temporary or perm. Where is everyones donatons going, if they wont go twards housing / houses for these people?

Yeah. If after cleanup, paying off all the contractors who have to rebuild levees, streets, sewers, water pipes, the electrical grid, and the public buildings, if there's enough money left to buy a house for everyone who's homeless I'll personally apologize to you. But that's simply not gonna happen.

Side note walmart donated 25million ( and atleast 1 store that was looted( and cops looted it too yay!))

This job is going to take tens of BILLIONS of dollars to complete. Walmart's contribution is generous by any measurement, but it's not gonna put a dent in the bill.
Look, people are still rebuilding after hurricanes which hit Florida last year and in years before that.
In tornado areas there are tons of stories about people who got hit by a tornado a decade ago and they still haven't gotten back to where they were before it hit. And that's from one tornado that cut a destruction path MAYBE a mile wide and 20 miles or so long, IF it was a really nasty one. This is a destruction area that spans for hundreds of miles. There simply isn't enough money to restore everyone to the way they were before it hit.
