Noodweer in VS niet uit het nieuws te slaan, terwijl noodweer in India, Nepal en Bangladesh 'achtergrond nieuws' is............

Noodweer in de VS door Orkaan Harvey, met een dertigtal doden, wordt in de westerse media onnoemelijk veel belangrijker geacht dan noodweer in India, Nepal en Bangladesh, waar al 1.500 doden zijn te betreuren....... 

Waar het noodweer van de VS prominent in het nieuws is, wordt het noodweer in India, Nepal en Bangladesh weggedrongen naar de achtergrond.........

'Logisch ook', daar de bevolking in de VS bestaat uit eerste klasse burgers en die in India, Nepal en Bangladesh uit derde klas burgers..........

Vanmorgen werd over India nog bericht dat een flatgebouw in Bombay (Mumbai) is ingestort, oorzaak: het aanhoudende noodweer. Daarbij zijn wat tot nu toe bekend is 14 mensen omgekomen en worden er nog 25 vermist........ Gevreesd wordt dat nog meer (vooral oude) gebouwen zullen instorten door dit aanhoudende noodweer.....

Hier een verslag met foto's over de situatie in India en Bangladesh (men spreekt hier nog over twaalfhonderd doden, maar zoals u hierboven kon lezen, is dit dodental intussen naar boven bijgesteld):

India, Nepal and Bangladesh are battling some of the worst monsoon rains in recent history, which have left around 1,200 people dead and 41 million people affected. In India more than 32 million people have reportedly been impacted by downpours.
Vast areas of land across all three countries are underwater, according to the Red Cross“Rainwater from the Himalayas is travelling down through Nepal’s lower-lying areas, through swollen rivers in north-east India and eventually through the floodplains of Bangladesh,” it said in a statement.

West Bengal is the worst affected area in India, with 152 deaths and 15 million people affected, according to the UN. The country is struggling to deal with heavier-than-usual monsoon rains, with more than 600 deaths caused by downpours.

The heavy rains began in mid-August, with more downpours forecast for the coming days. Video and images uploaded to social media from the Chitwan District in Nepal show flooded roads from mid-August.
As the rains continued into late August the situation grew worse, with 143 people killed in Nepal and nearly half a million displaced.
