It is said that no matter how much development and
advancement mankind may achieve, it remains helpless in front of Nature’s fury.
This was reconfirmed on 25th April 2015 when a severe earthquake
devastated and shattered Nepal with parts of India and China.
It was a normal day with people busy in their daily
activities when calamity struck in the form of a disastrous earthquake which
measured 7.9 on Richter scale. The earthquake was so sudden that even before people
could escape, the buildings fell like house of cards.
This picturesque tourist destination of the world with a
high number of heritage sites took no time to get transformed into rubbles with
debris, shattered buildings, dead bodies and injured people crying for help.
The United Nations estimated that about 8 million people are
affected and till date the death toll has reached over 6200. 14000 people are
injured with need of urgent attention. According to officials, more than 100 people in neighboring India and China also died in the
quake.
Approximately 13,500 government buildings were
partially damaged while more than 10,000 government buildings were destroyed.
And till now the number of damaged dwelling houses is out of estimate.
Help came promptly from many countries, including
India, China, USA, UK who rushed disaster rescue forces to Nepal and also food,
water, tarpaulin etc. India played a vital role with the largest rescue team
working on ground zero along with military choppers and a team of volunteers.
The Nepal government on Thursday, 30th
April, decided to set up a $2 billion fund to rebuild thousands of buildings
that were either damaged or destroyed in the killer earthquake. The UN's food agency on Thursday called for 8 million dollars in
donations urgently. The 7.9 magnitude earthquake-
Nepal's biggest in 80 years - has left about 3.5 million people needing food
donations. The injured are lying untreated in the hospitals because of scarcity
of medicines and equipments. A huge population is left homeless and with an
unsure future. Parentless children don’t even comprehend what actually the
situation is, and all they want is food. The UN and its partners have called
for 415 million dollars in emergency donations to meet the most urgent needs in
Nepal.
When a tragedy like this strikes, it is the duty
of the fellow human beings to stand beside the affected ones. The world is donating Nepal with whatever
possible, and praying for its fast recovery from this dreadful catastrophe. Zilaxo Advanced Pain Solution is donating for the Nepalese sufferers and standing
firmly beside them. And we appeal to everybody to do their bid and donate
whatever possible. Humanity is all about kindness.
