Sometimes, I feel guilty of having born in a nation that places me on top of its priorities. True, I have not experienced deprivation or extreme poverty, and everything I needed, my native land provided me for. Only, when I come to think of other people in foreign countries who live a scarce life, I feel sad about the reality that I am here sitting comfortably in my
newly bought house.
Before, I thought it was only in Africa that people get to eat rubbish or food supply delivered to them by concerned nations. But, to my surprise even a
European country like Netherlands experience, if not the same, famine. It saddens me to learn the truth that the Dutch people could not depend anymore on the state for their immediate needs.
Specifically the city of Rotterdam in the said country merely depends on charity institutions for food provided that they present the suppliers handouts that are regularly distributed to affected families. I am afraid that the crisis is largely affected by the mismanagement of the welfare system of Netherlands. Nothing is spoken much of the
welfare policies, but if Netherlands has been maintaining its scheme, then people will be provided help in times of crisis.
