He is 100% doing this for clout.
Look at how quickly he was on Sky News. The awareness is already happening because of journalists and charities. It’s like white people going to a country in Africa or South East Asia to volunteer for a day or 2.
With his platform (if you would call it that) and his money (which he has plenty of), he needs to be building temporary accommodation, bringing trauma informed therapists and specialists to the area to support the children and families who no doubt will have PTSD, bringing teams of workers to clear the rubble, look for survivors. Some areas have no help at all.
This is an email from my colleague whose family are there:
I am emotionally drained and can't comprehend the sheer scale of the disaster. Everything seems pointless. Watching people's desperations and hearing loved ones being in agony is unbearable.
It is worse than what we are shown on TVs.
I heard from a doctor who is a part of group of voluntary doctors ( who are trying to help others in an organised way) that the city ( the half city is destroyed) where we lost our aunty ( my uncles' wife, such an amazing person) and her mother, smells of rotten corps and there are thousands of dead bodies all over the city. I saw on Sky News bodies lying on the payment and no one claiming them. It is not right. It is not acceptable. It is extremely sad.
Overwhelmed hospitals ( if they are still in use), exhausted staff and thousands of people homeless and in shock, in the freezing cold, without a shelter or food. The government was nowhere for 3 days. So many places have had no help especially villages. They are left to their own faith.
The WHO says they fear deaths amongst people who escaped the earthquake; some will die in the freezing weather conditions and some will catch diseases ( no sanitation, no water, no electricity, no toilet, etc.)
I can't accept that my aunty was under the rabbles for 3 days and waited to be saved. We all know that every minute is/was important.
My uncle and cousin did everything in their power without getting any help from the government, only on the 3rd day she was taken out while her mother was still under the rabbles, but died on the way to the hospital. Too late! Too devastating!
How will my uncle and cousin recover from this? They heard her cry for 3 days and tried everything they could to find machinery and tools in agony, anger and frustration that they could pull them alive.
All in vain.
How can they overcome this ordeal?
Yet there are thousands of people like them.
I can't just understand nor accept what has happened.
come on now.
