Today morning I woke up and was just reading some news and I was shocked to learn that the cyclone Nargis butchered some 22,500 people in Myanmar. Reports from Yangon say that there are still 41,000 missing people, which means that the death toll might increase a lot.
Just imagine how we feel when just one of us dies. There, the death numbers are in thousands and lakhs have become either homeless or lost some of their property. The U.N. estimated up to a million could be homeless.
The bodies were being dropped into rivers. Video from the scene showed residents in some areas hacking their way through downed trees and trudging through knee-deep, swirling brown water. I feel very sorry for those people as I can imagine the agony that they went through during the cyclone attack and the aftermath. I would like to do something for them rather than just pray for their souls.
