I feel so sorry for....

[Debp]

I have friends from Bangladesh so have an interest in their country.

Bangladesh is a very poor country, poorer than India.

Now besides the suffering from the Covid-19... Bangladesh was hit with a cyclone yesterday.   

People are already living in crowded conditions in the capital city of Dhaka.   Also, there is a refugee camp of one million Rohingya that had to flee severe persecution in Myanmar.   They fled to already poor and crowded Bangladesh.   Several days ago a case or two of Covid-19 broke out in the camp.

Bangladesh is also subject to severe flooding on a regular basis, and it is thought that the seacoast areas will eventually be reclaimed by the sea.

These poor people have no where else to go.   

There are always people who have it worse than us, so we should always be thankful for our blessings and try to remember the poor.

Your statement shows a kind and tender heart. So many in our country never look beyond our borders to see the plight of others. We all have a circle of light or love that mostly encompasses family and some friends. As a Christian we must ever be widening that circle so that love for others can grow.

Thanks much.   Actually my friends live here.   Also, I live very close to Little Bangladesh in Los Angeles so would often see people from Bangladesh when I go to the supermarket.

Btw, friends from Bangladesh and India introduced me to Indian food...it is delicious!

Jno 3:16.  For God so loved the WORLD, that he gave his only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER beleiveth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

God loves everyone in the world, and wants them to come to him.  Too often we limit our prayers to ourselves, our families, friends, and home countries.  Thanks for the reminder that God loves everyone he created in the world that he created.  He also has a special love for the poor and afflicted.

I will pray for the people of Bangladesh.  Please join me in a prayer for India and other densely populated and poverty stricken areas for whom social distancing is impossible when 10 people are sleeping in the same room.  Also pray for the entire continent of Africa.  These people have been tormented by AIDS, Ebola, and just about every other deadly disease.  Poverty is the norm.  Medical facilities are substandard or non existent except in the cases where missionaries and people like Doctors Without Borders step in.

The fields are white with those in desperate need for the healing and salvation of Jesus.  Our prayers unleash his power.  He can heal at any time he chooses.  He doesn't need us.  He wants us.  And he wants our prayers.

Without meaning to sound condemning........ 

many places in the world......you find citizens of a country wondering what they are going to eat next.  Maybe a Steak, maybe some Lobster, maybe a leg of Lamb or some Italian or Asian Cuisine.

Why many others in many other countries are wondering if they will even eat today, or tomorrow.

Just look at what Satan has down to this world.

Indeed, those people really suffer and have a very difficult life just trying to exist. I watched a documentary on youtube about the Rohingya and it is very sad indeed. They are a people without an identity as to a country.  They now live in camps in Myanmar and many try to escape to Bangladesh, but they are not welcomed there too.    Go look at the documentary of these people and see their plight.

I often watch PBS News Report and they cover these topics more.

I saw a young girl waiting to get some rice in Bangladesh....she said she hadn't eaten for four days!!   She was just a child, a slender little thing.

I didn't realize there were camps in Myanmar.   I thought the Rohingya were all fleeing Myanmar due to threat of death, rape, etc.

Usually I don't watch Democracy Now but did tonight as they were covering the cyclone in Bangladesh, and the refugee camp of one million people there.   They also covered about refugee camps that are worldwide.   

A camp in Greece should hold only about 2700, I think it was..... instead it holds 20,000 people!!   Imagine how it will be as Covid 19 spreads there.   People can't social distance.   The report mentioned 23 families having to live in one building!
