Indeed, and as a Venezuelan myself, any help on this is welcome… sarcastic comments about Apple greediness is quite out of touch.

And it’s incredibly needed because for hours and hours on end after the earthquakes there hadn’t been not even a single helicopter, ambulances, fire fighters or first responders of any sort. It’s a failed state.

It’s so bad that kids recovered are being kidnapped for ransom and firefighters/responders from other countries are being held back at ports of entry.
That’s true corruption, greediness and evil.
