subject: Indonesia Tsunami-the Second War to the World People [print this page] Indonesia Tsunami-the Second War to the World People
The first tsunami hit Indonesia in 2004. While the sadness has not disappeared from the bottom of people's heart, another tsunami hit western Indonesia suddenly in 2010. The death toll has risen to 450 Sunday 1st November, while there are still 96 persons were lost. It is said the number is likely to climb higher because hundreds of missing people may have been swept away. We are sure that the Indonesian rescue teams are still battling to find the missing people. This is not only a war between the Indonesian and the natural disaster, but also a war between the world people and the natural disaster.
Having read the news, I was really very sad for the people. The people are suffered too much and they are suffering more. As a common man, I want to try my best to help them, donating as much money as possible. I even want to fly there to help them, giving the suffered a bottle of water. It is because I have ever experienced the earthquake on 12th May 2008 and its pain is still vividly in memory. Without other's help, I can not live today. I hope people can try their best to help the Indonesian just as help me. Here is a real story I saw, just hoping more people know what is going on in that place.
"I totally do not know what to do in the following days. I lost my lovely kids as well as all my property. I have never thought about how to get rid of this terrible disaster to start my new life" a villager named Musa cried to the reporter.
"I dug out my kids from the ruins and washed them by myself, it was happened just in this morning...." He said with a lost voice. Musa's home is just 100 miles to the shore.
Before the tsunami happened, there are 258 villagers in the village. The people there are live for fishing. Their life is in peace and serenity. And many people also come to this village for live due to the rich life. And Musa has been in that village for 14 years. However, a natural disaster took 125 persons. What a tragedy! Musa lost his elder daughter and two sons in this catastrophe while his wilfe and another son were badly hurt. They together with other injured villagers were sent to the hospital. In addition to, all the dead villagers were buried in the mass graves.
What Musa is doing all the day is nothing but help the rescue team. The reporter witnessed all this happening and he even recorded them by using his Digital Camcorder bought from an online store: http://www.dinodirect.com/camcorders/. What the reporter can do is to record what happened there and write it down to share with the world.
As we all know, all the countries has sent aid worker and relief goods to Indonesia. People all over the world are organizing various rescue working. We hope that the people there can rebuild their home as soon as possible, At the same time, we hope they could be strong enough to live on. God bless them
