Do you remember the disaster that happened last year in Haiti? This village was affected by an earthquake followed by a tsunami, so it caused a lot of deaths and destructed most buildings.
Now, approximately one year later, has grow up panic in the habitants of Haiti, but not for the risk of an earthquake, it surged because some of the Haitians are suffering the consequences of this natural disaster, cholera.
Haiti is not a developed country, so it was very difficult to reconstruct the city, to attend to all the injured people, to clean out the city of dead bodies… but what’s strange is that the other part of the island (Dominican Republic) is a wealthy country; it’s wealth derived from tourism, it means that one part is extremely poor and the other one rich. The persons who had governed in Haiti had the fault because they didn’t improve the situation of the country; they only wanted to enrich themselves. Consequently, it causes social inequalities.
People from Haiti are living in inhuman conditions, and this has helped the appearance of diseases like cholera. Cholera is a disease that makes all the liquid inside you go out, it means that you become dehydrated. Every day it appears in the news and every day there are more deaths. This terrible disease is spreading to more places and it’s very difficult to attend to all the sick because there aren’t sufficient doctors.
In my opinion it’s pathetic because some people have a luxurious life and other people, like Haitians, are hungry and suffering a terrible disease. But the most shocking thing is that they know that some of them will die, therefore they are getting crazy because they need help.
I think that politicians have to do something and send doctors, psychologists, people to cheer them up... but it also causes a problem because who will want to go to this country and put himself in danger? If they go there they have the possibility to contract the disease, luckily in the world there are volunteers who will go there and helped the needy. In spite of these kind people, it’s a big problem that will be very difficult to solve.
It's hard what happened to this country, but the most INTOLERABLE is that lots of famous made songs and events to help them, and now we don't know what happened with all of this money!
ResponderEliminarThey took advantage of this catastrophy to make know themselves, and then we have the consequences, there persists the problem.
It's a pitty that nowadays we have problems like that, and I think that all of the people with good conditions have to be in an ONG and help the underprivileged countries... :)
