The Lifestraw. Kills the bacteria that cause Typhoid, Cholera, Dysentery and Diarrhoea. One straw can clean 700L (one child's daily water req for 2 years, or an adults for 1 yr) of water or more.
What we need is a low-flying scattered drop all across New Orleans and other areas still drowning in unsafe water of about a quarter million of these things. A person starting out healthy can go without food for much longer than they can go without water. Fix the water problem in situ, immediately, which would grant more time and free up resources to solve the other problems.
