Flooding in Africa (East Africa). Heavy rains leave majority dead.

in #life6 years ago

Why Africa?
What is the cause of this heavy calamity to the poor citizens who pay tax to the government for a better life?
How will the survivors be treated?

Those are the questions that come up whenever I think of this heavy calamity happening to the poor souls.
The governments as if they don't have weather forecasters to announce and warn the people. Even shifting them to other places which might be safe from these calamities.

Above in a pic is a child that was washed away by the heavy running water ad that's how she ended up. Just imagine how she yelled for life while being taken by the merciless floods. What if she was your child. This happened in the turkana Valley in Kenya where a lot of people were left lifeless, properties were left vandalized, crops destroyed, houses washed down. The survivors became orphans and others were left widows and widowers.

Omg!!!!!! This is really too much. It's saddening but have nothing to do.
Now here in Uganda,

Above the mosque areas in kafele, an area in the capital city of Uganda, was flooded and all the mosley who were found praying, they had to face the wrath, fortunately enough, it didn't fill up to the level of entering into the mosque, but the nearby buildings who have low surfaces, had to face the consequences and had to draw water from the buildings.

The main roads were also not excluded from this, haha.. They also had to face it..

But what is really the cause of this?.

I personally point out some few causes of this tragedy in my country. I can't talk about others since am not good at pricking my nose in public.
But below are some of my reasons as to why we're still facing such calamities more so in the capital city.

1. The poor sewage planning of the area in that such running waters would be turned to the sewage pipes rather than filling the whole area.
2. Poor weather forecasters in that they fail to trace the weather changes in time to warn the people in advance for quick evacuation.
3. The govt's inability to set evacuation camps for those affected by the such natural hazards. This lives those who would have evacuated with no place to run to..

These and more still happening to our dear loves ones. Let's take a minute of silence to pray for those affected world wide by this calamities. May their souls rest in eternal peace and may they be judged accordingly.

Leave a comment of a simple prayer to those affected.

Upvote and resteem. Akuume.
