For theology and theologians, silence is often the best option, particularly in the immediate aftermath of tragedy.
Was soll man da noch sagen, schon gar als Theologe? Theologieprofessor Mark S. M. Scott fährt im Artikel Haiti and the Problem of Evil in First Things so fort:
For Christians, the best response, the more imperative question, is not “why?” but “what”: What can we do to help in situations of suffering? … Only after opening our hands should we dare to open our mouths, and even then we should speak with fear and trembling.
Wer immer noch nicht weiß, wie und wo er helfen kann: Zum Beispiel hier, hier oder hier.
