Unfortunately people don't care. Or they do, but it's too huge for them to comprehend. I find it hard to imagine a thousand people. 120k is way out of my zone.

I think people push it in the back of their minds...kind of out of sight...out of mind. It's so sad. I've been watching the numbers continue to rise. :( God help.

It's just unreal, isn't it? All we've been doing is praying for everyone. It's awful. It's hard enough to comprehend that the fires here are burning schools and houses...but to even try to imagine what it's like in China and Myanmar etc..., ohh, it breaks your heart.
