jonathan khoo-rat crisis

Once every 50 years, packs of rats will swarm through the hills and consume everything in their path. About 134,000 people died last month.Bamboos that has just harvast die after sometimes and this happens twice a century. Seeds, rice stocks, stripping ripening corn and paddy in the fields were eaten by the rats.Villages were affected greatly. They were too weak to flee and were dying as soon as thay knew it .Children are suffering from dehydration or diarrhoea.

personal view- i felt sad about the case. i think that the government should lend a hand to help out those poor people.there were too many crops being destroyed that these poor people do not have anything to eat and drink and will die.the government should rescue them much earlier than to wait for so long and what's worse, the condition in myanmar is not improving.i hope that they do get help soon and will not suffer from any more sufferings.
