Why is the death toll there so high, compared to the other affected
areas ? |
Wilson |
The main reason is that it is very remote so it took weeks after the
disaster for aid to get through. |
Carmen |
What did the aid workers find when they finally arrived ? |
Wilson |
Well the whole area had been ravaged by
famine and disease and those who still survived were in a
very unhealthy state. |
Carmen |
Oh, how awful ! Life just isn't fair. |
Wilson |
I know. To survive being struck by an earthquake and then to die of
hunger or disease is really tragic. |
