國際區向弱勢社群伸出援手

貝里爾颱風橫掃德州大休斯敦地區已經將近一個星期, 有部份地區尚未能接通電源, 主事之中央電力設備公司雖然動員許多人力也無法解決問題德州州長艾伯特也不在家 由副州長撐大局,此人是前媒體他和赫里斯郡之關係一向非常緊張, 目前還在爭辯為什麼沒有即時向拜登總統求助? 這簡直是埸鬧劇. 令人髪指, 正在患病中的眾議員希拉李已經在昨天向中央電力設備公司提出訴訟 控告該公司失職造成徳州地區之重大災情。

近一個星期來因為缺電而導致熱死的人數在增加中, 許多家庭之食物也全部腐爛, 尤其是眾多弱勢家庭更是處於絕望之中。

今天週日中午我們決定將便當和飲水送到許多公寓去表示國際區對他們之關心, 希望早日恢復電力供應。

對於這次之電力災難真是𠆤國際大笑話,我們的應變能力如此薄弱， 連第三世界國家都不如。

我們眼前展現的是民主共和兩黨之分歧日愈加剧， 但是自己後園之事都搞不定,這難道是國家開始衰退的徵兆嗎?

International District Reaches Out To Disadvantaged Communities

It has now been nearly one week since Hurricane Beryl has swept through the Greater Houston, Texas, area and still many areas have not had their power restored. Although Centerpoint Energy reports that they have mobilized additional manpower, there are many problems that still have not been resolved. Because Governor Abbott has been out of town on state business, those left in charge have not yet found solid solutions to solve the diasterous emergency situation. It has been reported that Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee who is suffering 

from illness has filed a lawsuit against Centerpoint Energy yesterday citing the company’s gross negligence that has been responsible for a major disaster in our city.

Over the past week, due to the loss of electric power, the food supplies of many families has all but decayed, especially for many economically vulnerable families who are now living in despair.

On Sunday our IMD board members voted to send box lunches and drinking water to local apartments and community centers.

Unfortunately, now our power disaster in Houston, Texas, has really become an international joke around the globe. Our response capability to Hurricane Beryl has been so weak that it cannot even match that of third world countries.

We really need to rebuild our nation. This is a very critical moment for all of us.
