My brother, who runs the India/middle east region for a large international relief org., left Minnesota, (where we are spending family X-mas), @ noon today for Sri Lanka. He and his wife live in Delhi, my time here w/ them was cut short but at least for pressing reason.
Unholy hell awaits him there, but as he said, at least it's over except for a hell of a lot of work and human tragedy. I don't expect that he will have time to answer or write an email for weeks, but we'll see. I'll fill you guys in w/ any firsthand info that I do get.
