Earthquake in Indonesia

At least 770 people are now known to have died in a powerful quake that struck the Indonesian island of Sumatra on Wednesday, the government says.

Rescuers are working into the night in a race to find survivors in the rubble of hundreds of collapsed buildings.

Almost 2,400 people have been injured, and the death toll is expected to rise further, officials say.

The 7.6-magnitude quake struck close to the city of Padang, the capital of West Sumatra province.

The earthquake brought down hospitals, schools and shopping malls, cut power lines and triggered landslides.

In this cases i think that is were we need to be united and support each other with resourses, support, food, and make them feel better. This was a natural disaster men couldnt create it nor prevent it. there are a lot of deaths but not because of a war, or not because of a stupid reason. there are no guilty in this.
