Death toll from tropical storm Bilis rises to 170 in China
17 July 2006
How terrible it is that there are natural disasters claiming the lives of civilians everywhere. There was the tsunami, now a tropical storm. Perhaps these events are signs of how human activity has altered our natural environment so drastically that such extreme weather is experienced. I feel lucky that here in Singapore we are relatively safe from such things, and that the worst weather is probably not more than a thunderstorm.
One might wonder how these countries are going to deal with the aftermath of these natural disasters. After all, help from other countries can only go so far after the media spotlight moves on.
