The UN's top humanitarian relief coordinator John Holmes has come down 'like a ton of bricks' on his top aid lieutenants for failures in Haiti, warning of political unrest and mass demonstrations if things do not improve. 

He said there had been an 'uneven response' in the month following the devastating Jan. 12 earthquake. This was undercutting confidence in the U.N.'s ability to deliver vital assistance, according to scoop by Colum Lynch at his Turtle Bay blog.  today.
