天灾无情,人间有情 : Myanmar Cyclone

The wind blew so strong and so cruel without any sign of empathy, bringing the cold heavy rain to all the people below. Everyone tried to hide and run away, but there was no escape, as the water flooded every places to stand. Things were being flew away, trees, cars, houses, etc including precious lives. They were screaming, and trying their best to save their lives, their beloved ones, their family....

Death bodies can be seen everywhere, lying there and most are already rotting. Everywhere is flooded with cold muddy water, though the tears of people are warm. Their homes and belongings are gone, their most precious ones are dead and missing, and their hearts are broken. They lost everything. Their village had turned into vast brownish sea, with corpses here and there. They are waiting on top of their homes, waiting to be saved, waiting to step on the land again. Is this hell? They are wondering will happen to their future? Or more precisely will there be any future?

The official death toll has reached 78 thousands of people, with 55 thousands of people are still missing and 2.5 millions of desperate survivals. It's a chaos here and there, even worse than a war zone. So many things are destroyed and so many lives have been sacrificed. The nature indeed has showed no mercy at all. The aftermath of the raging storm is grievous. One is considered very lucky to be able to see the aftermath, and of course the results are unknown for most of them. The survivals desperately need water, food, shelther and medical care. All the world is trying to reach there and to reach out a comforting hand to them. Let us gather together, and let us help them through this hours of darkness...

My heart is bleeding for them, how i wish i can be there to help them. The news of people suffering and corpses rotting cut me open, and i couldn't stop my tears from dropping. So, please pray for them, and help them through donation if possible. We are all the same, let us stand together and be strong. And maybe, this is a hint, that i should specialize into disaster medicine...
