3D Picture Discussion

This picture depicts a country living in poverty. Most probably a natural disaster has just taken place as many people is laying their mats along the road and are resting there. Probably an earthquake has just occurred and had destroyed their homes and leading to the large number of people lying along the streets. This is because the mat on the floor have boxes that seems to contain the belongings they can take with them.

Some people are sitting while some are resting on the mats, they look helpless, depress and injured from the earthquake. Like the man in sarong in the bottom right hand side of the picture, he looks badly injured as his finger and arm is bandaged, and his wounds are covered with bandages. The woman in red seems to be related to him. She looks sad and depressed, perhaps due to the loss of her house and having his family member injured. The rest of the people down the street seems injured too. Perhaps they are queueing outside a nearby clinic or hospital to see the doctor. During such period, I think the hospital would be packed with casualties and there will be a shortage of doctors and medications due to the sudden increase of casualties.

Due to the natural disaster, many do not have enough money to buy food as their income are destructed by the disaster and the country most probably has lost much of its resources. Many are also not able to afford proper meals. I can tell this from the things the people eat. For example the man lying on the bed, by his side is a loaf of bread and a cup of plain water. Probably he shared the meal with the women in red whom is standing by the bed. This tells that the people are so poor that they cannot afford proper meals and can only buy some dairy products and drink plain water to fill their stomachs.

At times like this, I think we should do our part by donating some necessities or money to the Singapore Red Cross Society which will give our donations to these people. In such disaster, there will be much destruction done to the infrastructures of the country and lots of money and manpower is needed to restore the country back to its original state. Thus we should offer our help by doing what we can and sacrifice some of our pocket money and donate to these people.

The country would be chaotic and many people might panic as they are trapped in the collapsed infrastructure and might still lose their lives. Assistance might be provided from other countries, to help save those who are trapped under the collapsed infrastructures. It is very sad and sorry if anyone were to lose their life in this disaster, and thus we should cherish those around us when they are still alive.
