The landslides created dangerous lakes that were caused when the water got dammed up. china called on removing 200,000 people to move away from the area as the dam was about to burst, another millionj people nearby were also on the move to be evacuated. apparently the chinese have drained the dam sufficiently now and are waiting to send the inhabitants back. what an effort! Attacking the problem right on where needed, not like the burmese! Of course china still has 5 million bpople who lost their homes but is making every effort to give them shelter while alternative shelter is being looked into. you can say yes, they have billions of people , but look how they mobilised their efforts to give help to the needy, it's absolutely mind blowing when you consider the scale of the operation.
It's heartrending to watch the suffering of the people in the stricken areas.
i pray these displaced and hurt and traumatised peoples are soothed by our prayers and the help of the authorities in humane ways.
