Is the government really gonna keep giving them aid for the next six months if they refuse to leave?
Nah. They've decided to cut off all food and water to the people in the city and starve 'em out like the no good, horrible commies that they are *scowls at world for being so crazy at the moment*
The thing is, no matter where these people go, they'll require aid and support. That's something no one over here seems to be addressing. Stay or leave, it will be a drain. The victims have nothing anymore. They're homeless, without jobs or bank accounts at the moment and a lot of them were dirt poor to begin with. What are they going to do? Move somewhere else and buy/rent a place? They don't have the means to do that.
So they want to cling to what they know. And I don't see the problem with that. Granted, there's disease and health risks. But there's also absolutely no support system outside waiting for them. Nowhere for them to go. Heck, even the relief efforts are still uncoordinated. Without the knowledge that there's somewhere better for them to be and someone who knows what is going on, then any attempt to evacuate is bound to fail or require bodily force, which just makes the rescuers come of as brutes.
It's just all so frustrating I want to tear my hair out at times.
