No sé si es un problema de redacción o me encontré con una expresión que no conozco:
In this country, people living or that had lived on drought relief, for instance, reacted badly to the profusion of 4x4 wheel drive trucks and WELL TO DO UN and NGO officers populating post-war Mozambique.
Asumo que el autor quiso decir "well to THE UN and NGO...", pero prefiero estar segura. ¿Tienen alguna idea?
