Mexico: possible disease epidemic?

Mexico having been hit by severe flooding as 80% is underwater and there is concern over cholera and dengue fever. With this being a severe national emergency there has been a very slow response to provide the aid- my question is why in this day and age when we have all this technology at our disposal are we still struggling to send aid???
