This is a terrible human tragedy; so many people dead or injured. The government should be grateful that people are volunteering because they will save lives as the hours tick by. There isn’t time to waste and even arranging overseas rescue workers takes a while to coordinate and then time to be on site to start rescuing or recovery of the deceased.
Utterly heartbreaking tragedy, I recall the horrific earthquake in Bam, in Iran where over 50 thousand people died. It’s just hard to fathom such a horrific loss of lives. My heart goes out to the victims of both these tragedies and all the awful disasters that happen.
I pray that more lives are saved and that the injured make a good recovery. How on earth do the people deal with funerals and then trying to survive amidst the ruin as the debris is cleared up to begin rebuilding.
It’s a very long and arduous process for the nation and hopefully the government accepts help from around the world to get them into a better situation moving forward. Put the citizens first and they will be grateful to the government, a nation depends on its ordinary citizens to make a good strong nation.
