Much love and humanity I wish for the all the victims suffering utter devastation. The energy produced from the first 7.8 scale earthquake was equivalent to 500 Hiroshima nuclear explosions. The delay in helping these people is not acceptable although a recovery is happening now its still not enough.

sadly this figure is now correct. The news on the radio was that 20,000 people have indeed died and there may be more.20,000 dead in that horrible quake, lots of children too.
The only postitive news is that some people are still being recued alive.
