If you compare it with recent flood in the Italian region Emilia Romagna, maybe there is little you can do with too heavy rain, you can't just blame governments.

The Italian food had a death toll of 17 and this one is over 11,000. So, ya know, there's a bit of a difference.

Different houses, different living standards. You could end up saying their poorer conditions lead to this catastrophe, but dams woukd have probably failed anyway, in one way or another one. If any nation could become easily rich thanks to a government change, it would have happens yesterday. Those nations are destroyed in a century and partially rebuilt the following century. You know who usually decides
