Earthquake in Chile

The world had not recovered yet from the massive earthquake in Haiti that another super massive earthquake has stuck Chile a few days ago. It was more powerful than Haiti but since the people of Chile are used to massive earthquakes they were more prepared with stronger codes of building regulation. Furthermore they are richer than the people of Haiti and may need less aid but we should not diminish the magnitude of the earthquake. Even richer countries like Japan and the United States are sometimes ill equipped to handle earth quakes since even stricter building codes are no match for the nature’s fury.

We can only hope that the world has not run out of kindness for the earthquake victims and don’t think that since Chile is better equipped to handle earthquakes they may not need our help. Every little help counts and the people of Chile needs our help maybe not as much but they may still need our help.
