INSECURITY IN JAPAN
The world woke up to the devastating news that a tsunami - occasioned by a high magnitude earthquake - had hit the island of Japan. Fukushima, according to media reports, has been hard hit. If you think that the earthquake and tsunami were devastating, news that the nuclear reactors in this area could be letting out dangerous gases couldn't come at a worse time. I'm thinking Chenorbyl, and getting very worried!
It wasn't until the faces were put to the aftermath that the world started to understand the extent of damage - to lives and property - that the survivors of this disaster have to deal with. While the miraculous survival of an infant is heart-warming, I can't take my mind off the hundreds of men, women and children who have to: live in darkness and without sufficient water and food, have to stay indoors so as to keep away from toxic gases, and mourn the death of their friends, colleagues and kin.
What can you do to help Japan?
