As all of you have read the newspaper recently, Haiti has encountered an massive earthquake, 7.0 magnitude and most of the buildings collapsed to the ground, killing hundreds of thousand of people. Shelter, health aids, food, water and families breaking up are problems for the people of Haiti.
Although many countries went to help them by sending aids like food and water or sending doctors there to cure the injured. Many countries commented that Haiti was disorganised because distributing food was very chaotic. I can understand the plight of the Haiti people but staying calm is the best way to solve the problem. When I see the pictures during the earthquake, I was shocked to see the injuries and the people being stuck under collapsed buildings.
Work to save the victims under the ground will stop in 4 days time and corpses will be remain there forever. The Haiti people, obviously are angry and went strike against their government. In my opinion, the work should continue until all were saved or at least dug out from the debris.
However, this is an international rule: Work to save the victims can only last for 3 weeks because of resources needed.
I really hope that Haiti will continue her life and remain optimistic as life must goes on somehow. Countries should keep sending them aids until Haiti can become independent. Although this earthquake is not serious as the one in Sichuan, I really hope that everyone can lend the Haiti people a helping hand, either by monetary means or going there to help the victims.
