The world has known these past two weeks several natural catastrophes such as cyclones, high winds and earthquakes that have been the cause of much properties damage and thousands of people’s deaths. The Asian part of the world has been the most affected with more than ten thousand of victims as well as Myanmar, a Southeast Asian country of about 50 million people, has recorded 1500 people who lost their lives and their properties. The worst is, this morning, Sichuan, a mountain province located in the West part of China, has also been victim of a severe earthquake that occurred with a 7.8 magnitude killing more than five thousand people and blocking nine hundred high school students in buildings collapse. All international organizations fighting against poverty, starve and natural catastrophes like the UN (United Nations), the Red Cross, are overworked.
International opinion is alerted and many developed countries are providing some humanitarian aid as well as the United States government that gave their helping hands by providing some food and medicine and also by sending some military troops in order to clean and rebuild the blasted town. However, considering the fact that we cannot fight against a natural catastrophe, the only thing we can do to limit the damage is to predict a catastrophe with the progress of science and also to educate people. But, the question we all need to get an answer is to know how long those furious catastrophes will continue to break thousands of families.
