Donated Goods Deluge the City and Sit Unused

for the millions of people who are sending food, clothing and supplies to the city's relief effort, officials have one message:

No more, thanks. Not now ...

That's amazing. When have there ever been TOO MANY donations to a disaster area???

I can see why there would be too many. While lives have been affected all over the world, the actual physical damage is only in a very small area, and so clothing, food, etc, wouldn't be of much use.
