News ; 5.7 magnitude earthquake in Bangladesh, (8 lives lost)
An earthquake is a terrible disaster. Recently, the trend of earthquakes in the world has been increasing day by day. It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I inform you that a terrible earthquake occurred at 10:40 am Bangladesh time. Researchers said it measured up to 5.7 on the Richter scale. This earthquake occurred in several areas around Dhaka. The whole country is shaken. It was very scary, because this earthquake was the longest lasting earthquake I have ever known.
It is very sad that 8 people have died in three districts of the country as a result of this earthquake. At the same time, we have learned from various media outlets that nearly five hundred people have been injured across the country. I am even more surprised that the most people were injured in Gazipur district, where I currently live. I am so grateful to the Creator that I am physically healthy. However, the loss of 8 lives and the injury of half a thousand people from within the country have saddened my heart.
Such accidents have created a lot of panic among the people of the country. The deep grief of the deceased and their families is hammering our hearts. Even more heartbreaking is the death of a child who was crushed under a wall. The child's mother was injured in this difficult situation. Data is still being collected from different parts of the country. I am more concerned that the death toll could be higher. Our hearts are heavy with grief after hearing about the loss of life in the earthquake.
I am deeply saddened and grief-stricken. Those who died in this earthquake accident. I pray for the forgiveness of the souls of the deceased and I pray for paradise for them. Earthquakes are natural disasters, so we must always keep nature healthy by creating a deep friendly relationship with it. May God bless us all.
