When natural disaster hits us.

On 25th of May a disastrous cyclone Ailla, hit the south of West Bengal, India, including the city Kolkata. The city had huge power cuts and water supply failure. But the condition has improved. There is more to the disaster hitting us.
Shockingly especially, near the delta of river Ganges, the sea water has swept into the villages. People have lost their mud homes, their cattle, their land under water and there is severe crisis of food. Many villages are waterlogged carrying rotten dead cattle bodies, human bodies and rotten fish from the river and salt water to drink. The condition is pathetic and government help has not yet satisfactorily reached every poor man. People with small children are being asked to leave and move to any other place. They have no job and are moving towards urban and suburban places. Mostly, fishermen and farmers now have to meet their hunger by working as daily labors.

If the words don't have an effect to reach our heart then its is hard to believe that there are people who are damn helpless. Please Help in the bad times.
