8:08 am
earthquakes in true care because a 2 major ah, 2 major fault lines moved on the very same day and a on a, at the very same magnitude 2 earthquakes happened and then some of the buildings collapsed after the circuit earthquake and according to some other experts. one of the reasons why the government was late in responding to some areas was 1st, infrastructure was damaged and it affected 10 cities. a which means 13 and a half 1000000 people in the area effected by this earthquake is nearly cool to a country, a landscape, and in some other parts of the world. and this is what they say as some of the experts say, but the opposition and people who are trapped, they always criticize the government and are they could size the help. they didn't arrive on time as all of them were erasing with time. i understand that twitter has
