Chris Cantell Discusses World News: New threat for the China evacuees by Lenka Filipova

If it had not been for enough, another evacuation was provided to people living near Tangjiashan lake. It was due to the lake's menace as it got more disturbed by the earthquakes, threatening people of collapse soon. More than 80,000 people were evacuated, which means that approximately 30 villages were conditioned to be emptied as soon as possible. These people were consequently taken to the camps similar to the one like Jiangyou. According to the Associated Press, more than 15 people are forced to share the place within one tent.The jeopardy of flooding is also in the areas where the lakes like Tangjiashan are swelling just behind their walls made either of mud or rubble. Thus, there is high probability for the walls to get crashed and subsequently cause the flood. Till this time, the number of death is still increasing, reaching the horrifying 67,187 dead people. These were confirmed. In addition to this, more than 20,790 people are still missing. Resulting form this, 80,000 or even more deaths are expected.There are attempts made by the Ministry of Water resources to prevent the catastrophe. The chief engineer, Liu Ning, told that they were prepared to get rid of the trees by the means of chopping and explosion. In this time, the troops are digging the channel to allow water drain and thus lover its level. However, officials are aware of the threat that mud and debris in water can very easily damage the rubble wall and gallons of water will make torrents down the village.This jeopardy causes even worsened physical as well as mental conditions for evacuees. What is more, in this state, people are more vulnerable to disease.
