Powerful Earthquake hit Myanmar, my country

Yesterday, my aunt called me and she said a powerful earthquake hit Myanmar but she didn't know where it happened and how it was strong and she also can't do anything because she was at work. She was very worried about her family and also my family. Me either. When I heard about it, I couldn't even study and I was so worried about my family, friends and people in my country.
I called to my family but I couldn't so I worried more about them and I visited to CNN website and read the article about Myanmar earthquake and it said it hit the northeast of Myanmar and the magnitude of earthquake is 6.8. It was very strong. At that time, I was happy for my family because northeast of Myanmar is very far away from my city so I was sure my family and friends were safe. But, suddenly I was so sad about my people because some rural places in northeast of Myanmar are undeveloped and they are in poor communication system and anything is in poor conditions. So I worried about them so much.
Last night, my mum called me and said they are safe and not to worry about them. I was happy for my family and friends for being safe but I felt very sorry for my people in the northeast of Myanmar. According to CNN, more than 70 people were killed by the earthquake and a lot of people are in hospitals and homeless right now. I feel very sorry about them and I am not satisfied myself because I can't do anything for them right now.
I understand about my country. My country has to suffer a lot of natural disasters because of destroying environment. We suffered a powerful cyclone in 2008 and now had to suffer powerful earthquake again. I know about my country and it is not like other developed countries. If developed countries have to suffer natural disasters, people do not have to suffer a lot of troubles because their government helped them but the government in my country is not interested in helping people so people in my country have to suffer all the problems and damages if they suffered natural disasters. That is why I take Environmental Science major and I want to do something for my people not to suffer these kind of natural disasters because there is no one who will help them. But right now, I can't do anything for them. I only hope my graduation day when I can go back to my country and do something for my country.
May God Bless Myanmar. Please keep my people in your prayers. Special thanks for your kindness.
