Earthquake happened whilepeople were preparing for a festival on the beach in Palu, so the wavesswept in.Reflection I my opinion, there must a temporary place that can let the survivors and theinjured bed down, not in the open air and do nothing; otherwise, they might getfever. The government should dig the collapsed buildings to find alive people ordeath bodies as soon as possible. They should quickly send enough food, petrol,and bottles of water to Palu.
