A strong winter storm called Xynthia Has affected a lot of European Countries such as Portugal, Belgium, Spain, Germany and France. It has killed more than 60 people 48 of them in France. The french Prime Minister Francois Fillon called this a natural catastrophe. Most of the people drowned and others were hit by parts of buildings that were carried by the wind, they also were hit by trees and branches. It is really rare to have a such strong storm in Europe. Helicopters rescue lots of people during the day. More than 9,000 people are left without electricity. Lots of flights were canceled in the airports of Madrid, Paris and Frankfurt.
In our opinion the world is having lots of terrible natural catastrophes and we have to do something about it. Or else people will die and suffer a lot. We have to help each other and care of the world in which we live.
