As most of us have heard of, mostly about what happened to China, there was another country which was greeted by undefeatable mother nature. On 2 MAY, Myanmar was winnowed by cold and devastating Cyclone Nargis, killing more than 130,000 and leaving more than 2 million homeless. Although aids are having difficulty entering the country as the government is not going easy in approving the visas, many people are still struggling to aid. It may sound ridiculous for some of us, but to think again, if too many people are entering the country, even if they are there to help, they are actually taking up the space needed for people made homeless. Even more upset news, aids being transported by boats, sank before they could reach Myanmar. All we can do is to aid in other possible ways.
On 12 MAY, after rested for 10 days, perhaps, mother nature went to China and hailed her with an 7.9 magnitude earthquake. After bringing down Eastern Sichuan, the government was forced to appealed more than 5 million tents for homeless. More than 55,740 people are known to have died, another 24,960 missing and 292,481 injured. The cause of the quake was the result of motion on a northeast striking reverse fault on the northwestern margin of the Sichuan Basin. (For more information, please search from the Website)
After the fuss made by Tibetans, there comes another bigger matter. After all these matters happened, will the 2008 Olympic Games still be as expectant as before? Are we able to put things down within 2 months and move on to the grand event ahead? The answer is clear.
Just hope for the best and do what we can do.
