Unfortunately desperate people sometimes do desperate things. It's a bad situation, for everyone.
I can understand people looting to feed their families. But the news said there were gangs of looters stealing food to later sell for profit, making a buck of of other people's desperation. The looters are what's making it harder for aid to get in and be distributed. This is like what happened in Somalia, where much of the aid for starving people was stolen. But it is just a terrible situation overall.
