07.21.15 Update green boat men

Very little to report. IOM did deliver some food. (Operative word on "some".) More food delivered by a couple of good Samaritans. Also dropped off some food today, too.  Was told third hand that IOM "Overspent" their budget, hence the food shortage. This situation is not improving as it should.
No word from UNHRC.
Nothing else to add except the men are OK. Don't really like how this is all handled. Public needs to be more vocal. One woman with a social conscience has, after all of this time, finally become engaged and contacted the Lt. Governor. The local population needs to become more involved but many are afraid if the men are heped more refugees will come to Yap. Am not convinced that is a realistic argument not to help these men. On the other hand, the outer islands are sparsely populated.

    1. Are you ok? She always update about green boat men. Instead of THANK YOU, you are saying Update abt men and Iom gave some food or not, My brother she already have mentioned that. And if you are so worried then why u dnt call your Indian ambassadors to bring back them to your home country, and choose some legal way for entering in any coutry. So dont write these kinds of comments instead of these comments you can say thank you doctor you are doing so well we will wait for you next update. This is the way not an order.

  2. Hi Dr. Rosemary!

    I wrote a post on my blog about the green boat men to help get the word out. I referenced your blog and posted to Facebook and Twitter from my blog account. I don't have a huge network there yet, so I may share to my personal pages too. If I need to make any edits, please let me know!
