Natural disasters have been raging the world, with the two main happenings- Cyclone Nargis in Myanmmar and the Earthquake in China.
Just today, the news report that another Cyclone may be forming over Myanmmar and this could mean another wave of catastrophe that will add onto the already badly damaged country. Still the governement only chooses to accept donations of supplies from abroad but refuses to allow foreign experts to oversee the complicated relief effort needed and not only that, it has tightened access to cyclone zones delaying aid workers progress. Just because the government is suspicious of the outside world.
2 million hungry lives that are prone to the widespread of diseases are at stake! Already they are too late in terms of response and yet they are still so stubborn to accept foreign aid. Can't they just put their stubborness aside and save the lives of the people first. Where is their priority! These people need food, water, shelter and medical attention, which are insufficient and not in their reach. Now, with another cyclone forming, I seriously cannot imagine how much more devastating the effect will be.
Dear Lord, you have to watch over the people over there. Please give them hope as they lay their faith in you.
As the deathtoll keeps increasing in China, at least there was immediate rescue efforts, which is very critical especially for the first 72hours after the earthquake strikes. Hopefully the transportation system and conditions will improve soon, so that foreign rescue and search experts could be deployed.
If only I was superwomen, I would fly around the world, saving the lives of people. Too bad, I am only a student, limited to the things I could help. It is common knowledge that natural disaster will bring about disastrous effects, but it is selfishness that makes these effects escalates. It is a paradox that people who have the power to save lives, just don't. Afterall this is the selfish world we are living in, where only "me, myself and I" exists to them. After seeing all these disasters happening around the world, I just lost my ambition to be an urban planner. I just want to be an humanitarian helper now. I want to help people and save lives. I don't want to just sit here, do nothing and watch people suffering in pain. I want to make a difference.
