A Cry for help!!!!!

I feel the need to raise awareness of the tragedies that recently happened on the Balkan peninsula, when floods of Biblical proportions destroyed huge parts of Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. In these 3 countries, three months' worth of rain fell in just a few days, causing rivers to burst their banks and sweep into people's homes.

Floods have affected about 2 million people. Entire villages and towns got evacuated and are now covered with 1- 5 meters of water. The number of people who lost their lives is still unknown and with rescue hindered by the flood waters I am sure that number gets bigger with every hour... Damage is enormous.

But as the water is slowly receding, danger is still far from over. Numerous landslides happened and have burying everything on their way. Countles minefields that were left after the war in 90's got washed away and displaced. Along with the warning signs. The smell of rotting animals floating around is unbearable.Disease Is  threatening as the temperatures rise.

People affected by this act of nature have lost everything. They left their home to avoid the coming waves of flood water with only the clothes they were wearing at the time. Tens of thousands of people are now placed in shelters, depending on people willing to help them. They have no food, no clean water, no clothes, no medicines, no health products. For some of them, it will take years before they'll be able to go back home. And even then, they won't have anything...

And even though I don't live in that part of the world, this matter is important to me. It is important because all these disasters have affected my friends. One was stuck on the roof of a house for 3 days, waiting for help, another has lost a house and a horse ranch. Just like other tens of thousands of people. So it has to be important. Not just to me, to entire world. This is a tragedy.

These countries have been forgotten by everyone, and have been poor ever since the war in 90's, and many people were still recovering after that, and now, this happens. Ok, war was a stupidity of a mankind, but this wasn't their fault. They didn't deserve this...

Help them. In any way you can. If you skip one beer or a cup of coffee, and donate that amount of money, you will feed one person who's suffering right now...

To get a real idea of the suffering watch these videos

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice

So WB have announced the official name and logo of the new Batman Superman movie and although I can understand the title (after all it is when two of the worlds greatest or finest heroes meet) but I still think it should of had a different title but then you will never make us fanboys happy

But in reality lets just admit what the film REALLY is .....

WHERE WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO VISIT ON YOUR PLANET?

Although you are only the bot sent to test this option you deserve an answer as you may become sentient one day and might even be my boss..... I would like to visit too many places but if I have to name one Red Square in Moscow

[davidshires]

OK I have just re awoken this 'Blog' and am going to try to do at least one post a day it might be a favourite picture of mine (like the awesome Batman image above isn't it ace) or something in the news or maybe a short story but like I say I will try to post once a day
