Peru quake kills hundreds

Peru quake kills hundreds : "Peru's Health Minister Carlos Vallejos said 115 died in the 7.9-magnitude quake. But the nation's civil defence agency, which leads rescue efforts, said more than 330 perished."

Non stop earth quakes. We have a world of non stop earthquakes and always such damage, such destruction and in places which can least afford it. Earthquakes, flooding, hurricanes , melting snow, heat waves and we are still discussing whether we ought to do something about it? We read the news and we still sit and talk about it. The leaders still think it's something for a summit agenda. Action. We need to act. I cannot believe our leaders are not reacting big time. After a decade of this we just sit and listen.
