Devastation

Earthquake in Christchurch yesterday and it’s so much devastation. The whole country is now in distress. I have been watching TV for hours yesterday afternoon, watching the helpless situation. 38 confirmed dead at the moment, but fears 300. Things were destroyed in a minute, people lives were taken both quickly and slowly. Aftershocks keep coming. Nowhere seems to be a safe place. It’s heart breaking. The rescuing work is pretty tough too. Polices, St. Johns,  Navies, Armies, Air Forces… from all over the country have been deployed to Christchurch, and also people from other countries offering us help are arriving. No one knows exactly how many injuries are there, and how many lives we have lost. Some people are still not contactable. Cabinet are considering whether to declare a national state of emergency or not. Christchurch is a ruin at the moment.

God defend New Zealand.
