I think I place a lot more weight on the stories I read from the people who are experiencing these events, than I do on media and press statements. The families who have had their properties looted may well be in lesser positions of power but their experiences are none the less valid for that, and their salaries do not depend on putting on a good show for their bosses, whoever that might be.
Maybe I value anecdotal evidence because I have a social science background, or maybe its just because I have been in crisis situations and I know that stomach churning feeling of shock and helplessness, and I empathise.
Unlike those who have never been there, and have no conception of just how it feels to know your life has just been smashed to pieces.
