Not that they gave up, Its just a loosing fight, the water is coming in to fast for them to make a difference and the pumps in that area are about to give out, nothing they can do at this point, Its not like they can get heavy equipment in to build a wall, they are doing this by hand with sandbags and its not helping, so they had to back off and worry about getting people out now instead. The damage is done
