    "Natural disasters" are unavoidable disasters in people's lives, a reservoir burst in a mining town in the Free State of South Africa, resulting in 3 deaths and 40 injuries, including a pregnant woman, in the evening of the same day, the South African Power Group's power supply facilities were also damaged, resulting in a wide range of power outages in the surrounding area, which is undoubtedly difficult for the rescue work, and how is the local rescue work progressing now? Let's tell you about it. <>

    The disaster happened very quickly, some of them showed symptoms of broken bones, in order to save the victims in time, civil society organizations came to the local victims to express condolences, because the mobile phone tower here has also been damaged, they have little contact with the outside world, according to the investigation, a local church has begun to accept refugees, they have sent their own message for help, and now urgently need a large amount of water, food, blankets and other relief materials. <>

    South Africa has already experienced a succession of heavy rainfall this year, which can lead to various natural disasters such as floods and mudslides. One of the reasons for the dam failure was that the edge of the dam was unstable and falling due to continuous days of rainfall. This year is also the heaviest rainfall South Africa has experienced in nearly 60 years, and it is very difficult to carry out rescue work, and the death toll due to the previous floods is also very large.

    Television footage shows that the flood water carried mud from the mine directly into the homes of nearby residents, washing away nearby roads and houses, and many residents were accidentally washed into the water, and rescuers pulled again and again. The flood not only affected the lives of residents, but also polluted drinking water, destroyed local cell phone towers, and even washed away a lot of sheep that were not found.

    I hope that the local power will be restored as soon as possible, and everyone will be able to survive the disaster safely.
