iReport —
All along a 20 miles stretch of road, I saw people lining up at the road side waiting for help. I drop several candies for the children at the road side and suddenly about ten adult men rushed to get the candy that I dropped for the children. It is unthinkable to see adult fighting with children over the candies. The situation is very desperate. The main thing that sadden me most is the scene of old men fighting with children for food. It was a horrible side of humanity. I am actually afraid to be on the road because of such violent and what human can do just for food and survival.
