RE: Mozambique’s historic double cyclone never before seen just north of my border leaves over 600 dead and four countries reeling

in #news5 years ago

Thanks for your positive feedback @mattifer. You are rendering a good service by helping in the aftermath as you did of Hurricane Katrina.

I know there is one charity organization called "Gift of the Givers" that help in situations here. Theremay be others, including international aid groups.

So much is going on that affects millions of people at a time nowadays, and it slips our notice among the mass of data. Just a few days ago a cyclone hit the east coast of India quite badly, like Katrina. It seems to be an annual occurrence somewhere on the planet. And to think how many thousands are left for weeks and months after with their lives ruined. There must be pockets of devastation all over the planet busy trying to return to normality every day. Even Haiti was smashed a year or so back and is probably still in a difficult place.

Sort:  

I wonder if these sorts of things have always been common - but now that we are digitally connected and have SO MUCH access to information, we feel like more should be done. 150 years ago, I had an excuse for not helping with a catastrophe on the other side of the globe. Today, there's no excuse, only an option to help or not help.
