According to this article Turkey just underwent an awful, natural disaster. Turkey was hit with an earth quake leaving many people injured and dead. Not only were people destroyed, but so were 90 buildings. One of the buildings that was destroyed was a hospital. Since so many people are dead or injured, it is really inconvenient that the closest hospital was destroyed. Along with the hospital, one of the main health centers was destroyed too. Many of the injured people are being hospitalized in the garden of the hospital. Because the temperatures are so cold in Turkey, people are beginning to get really sick. Citizens of Turkey are frightened with what can happen since the weather is so freezing and barely anyone has places to live. Trucks filled with rescue aid have been driven into the country to help people, but have not reached many small villages that need the aid. Many of the rescue workers are having a hard time finding people because they are hidden under so many objects.
It is so sad to see such an awful tragedy like this occur. It stinks to see so many people get hurt because of a natural disaster. The worst part is that people are helping all over, but the help is not enough. It is even sadder to think that some people are buried under items and cannot be found. I think the world as a whole needs to find better ways to deal with natural disasters. Every year several people are injured and killed because of a natural disaster. I am well aware that natural disasters are not preventable, but I do believe there is a way to help and aid people better who have been hit by a natural disaster.
Natural disasters are an awful tragedy, but what can be done. The ideal way is to have a prevention method. The only problem with that is, these places barely have enough resources to do almost all the things they need to do besides have a prevention method. The natural disaster situation almost seems impossible for a developing country.
ReplyDeleteNatural disasters are always heartbreaking. I believe that more precautionary measures need to be taken so that responses to disasters are faster and efficacious. One major problem you outline is the difficulty of getting resources to places like villages. Remote areas are often badly hurt, but cannot get supplies as easily or readily as cities and larger towns.
