Two natural disasters caused hundred thousands of deaths.. These deaths are not to be prevented and not meant to be escaped makes it more unacceptable by the nationwide. The fact that they can't cheat death makes us feel very helpless indeed....

The cyclone occurred in Myanmar on May 3rd had brought the death toll up to 34,000 and it was speculated that 100,000 could have died. When we thought things were in control, when we thought things are getting better... A 7.9 magnitude quake hit the southwestern Chinese province of Sichuan, Yongan on 12th May.

It was reported that Yongan has become a ghost town. It's residents are either dead, evacuated or camping out in the local school yard. Yongan has been almost totally destroyed... The newspapers are reporting the latest updates from China everyday, with lots of heart-wrenching pictures and touching articles. Charities are held everywhere to raise funds for the victims and to restructure the town - which i think although after restructuring.. things will never be the same again...

This is the time when we see volunteers, rescuers, members of the paramedics, polices, and the countless people who tried their very best to save out every live, to not give up on hope fro their loved ones.

There is this one article which made my tears flowed uncontrollably...

***BEIJING: Using a fireman's axe, scissors and a kitchen knife, Dr Li YinXian amputated the legs of a young boy in a desperate bid to free him from the rubble of his school, noly to watch him slowly die. "When I told the boy I was going to cut of his legs he just said 'Go ahead, please save me, I don't need them', " Dr Li YinXian, who aiding rescue efforts after China's devastating earthquake, told the Beijing News."The words were like a knife through my heart," he said...........................
...........Most painful for Dr Li was a girl who was beyond his reach, trapped further inside the rubble under a collapsed doorway. As Dr Li worked on the nearest children to him, he could hear her plaintive voice. "She was saying 'Uncle, uncle save me. All you need to do is push the door away and I will be able to get out on my own'," Dr Li was quoted as saying in the Beijing News. "But she was trapped too deep and there was no way I could get to her. Slowly the voice faded away."***

From my place here in Malaysia, I can never imagine how suffer it is for them but I still pray for miracles to happen... After all these, all left were only the painful memories, endless fears and tears of grieves.

May the victims rest in peace, may the survivors be found.
