Japan's Ishikawa Prefecture recently released a sad statistic: the death toll from the strong earthquake on the Noto Peninsula has climbed to 168. At this sad time, disaster relief has become a top priority, and Ishikawa Prefecture** also appealed to the people not to donate materials to the disaster area on their own, so as not to interfere with the relief work. Some inappropriate supplies, such as spicy instant noodles, are not popular in the affected areas.
Don't send spicy instant noodles, the disaster areas in Japan are not welcome, netizens, give money directly, it will definitely be popular.
This phenomenon has recently been reported in Japan. Food blogger Ryuji explained on social media why spicy instant noodles are not suitable for disaster areas.
He pointed out that spicy instant noodles, including Shin ramen, require a lot of water to cook, which is not suitable for the disaster-stricken areas where water is scarce. Many netizens also agreed, believing that it is inappropriate to send spicy instant noodles in disaster areas where water needs to be rationed. It has even been pointed out that Japanese people generally do not like to eat spicy food.
Ryuuji gave a practical suggestion. He suggested that if people only have spicy instant noodles left at hand when disaster strikes, they can skip the spicy buns and use soy sauce instead. Wait until the water shortage is relieved before using spicy buns. This suggestion has been endorsed by many netizens, who believe that it is important information that is worth learning even when there is no disaster.
We must recognize that what is most needed in the affected areas is supplies that can meet basic needs. At this time, donated supplies should be as practical, easy to use, and preserve as possible.
As a food that requires a lot of water, spicy instant noodles are obviously not suitable in flood-stricken areas. We should refrain from donating such supplies so as not to place an unnecessary burden on the affected areas.
We should also respect the cultural and taste preferences of the people in the affected areas. Foods like spicy instant noodles, while popular worldwide, may not be popular in some regions. When donating food, we should try to choose foods that the locals like, or at least that can be accepted by the locals.
We should also pay attention to the quality and safety of donated goods. In the affected areas, the quality of food and drinking water is of paramount importance. If the quality and safety of donated materials are not guaranteed, it may pose a greater health risk to the people in the affected areas.
Before donating, we should try to understand the quality and safety of the donated materials as much as possible, and choose a reliable and reputable donation channel.
We should be aware that donations are not only material help, but also moral support. In the face of disaster, people's mental and mental state is just as important.
We should express our concern and support for the people in the disaster area in various ways, such as speaking out through social networks, donating money, and providing psychological assistance. This support can give people in the affected areas strength and confidence to help them tide over the difficult times.
In the face of disaster, we should donate based on the principles of practicality, respect and safety. Foods that require a lot of water, such as spicy instant noodles, are not suitable in water-scarce areas, and we should avoid donating such supplies.
We should also pay attention to the quality and safety of donations, as well as express our concern and support for the people in the disaster areas in various ways. Only in this way can we truly help the affected areas and allow the affected people to return to normal life as soon as possible.
