Water is a hard one because it is so heavy. But other things are somewhat lighter...medicines..if roads are down have relays of people or donkeys with backpacks. There is a great need for tetanus and I presume antibiotics. I'm saying you can not wait while charities sort things out. Get what you can where you can..old t-shirts..can be torn up and used as bandages, cleaning rags, diapers..or worn by nearly naked people. Tons of rice should not be hard to come by. Always it is water that we need to find ways to either deliver or purify existing water...
