Indonesian haze is now affecting parts of my country. That was in the news when I tuned in television. So it has been two months since the forest fire in Indonesia started. It is now affecting Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia and now some parts of the Philippines too.
Poor us all that has been affected. Respiratory problems are now adding up to the top of the problems since according to the report, the land burning is carbon rich. My nephews and nieces in Mindanao areas, has been affected and now has asthma attacks and other respiratory ailments.
I hope and pray that the haze will resolve soon. And I hope that everyone will be okay.

Sounds like a huge fire to be affecting a number of countries. Let's hope it resolves quickly.

@1hopefulman oh yes, it has been months and still going on. if here in my country, we have been affected slightly, how much more those who are living in Indonesia. I could just pray for their safety and health and that this may end soon.

@rakski Prayer is always good. May God's kingdom come soon so that these kind of problems can be solved completely. (Matthew 6:9-10)

It's really dangerous especially those who have asthma. I wish it will go away.

How are they now? I hope it isn't as bad as before. The haze didn't affect Manila that much, then again, the air in Manila has been hazy since the 90s.
We should really do something about the air quality in this country.
