The above video shows the aftermath of the recent Mount Merapi's eruption in the central of Java, Indonesia. This was said to be the worst eruption in a century. While the Indonesians have yet to get over the Tsunami incident, the deadly eruption had occur on 26 October and 5 November. The eruption had taken away the lives of about 300 Indonesians and at least 600 were hospitalized. Not only were houses destroyed, families were also broken. The devastation of having lost their loved ones was definitely unbearable. Losing family members due to natural disasters like volcanoes eruptions or tsunamis,  is more painful than losing family members due to fatal sickness like cancer or even heart attack. Imagine having a destroyed shelters and then knowing that you have a missing or even dead family member. I, for one, could not possibly imagine how devastated my life would be should that happen to my family.

No news means good news. Maybe that would be the phrase everyone will have to bear in mind. At least it's better than knowing family members are dead, because you will choose to believe that there's still a tiny bit of hope that they're still alive.

Besides destroyed homes, infrastructures like roads, railway track and factories were also destroyed. As a result, people will have to slowly and painstakingly rebuild their losses. Not only did the eruption cause destructions to the country's infrastructures but it had also resulted in a huge economic losses. This is due to the deaths of the people in the economic sectors such as tourism, agriculture and plantation. Therefore, Indonesian governments are implementing measures to boost country's economic although it may seem unclear now as to how they should tackle the problem. Nevertheless, our prayers should go to Indonesia for they have suffered a lot.
