Hello,

would you please proof read the following line?

Expressing his condolences to all of the earthquake-stricken people, he said: “We should thank all the people of the country because they all came and helped, but we must know that today the earthquake-stricken need plastic more than anything else to be protected from the rain.

Thank you in advance.

You might want to use a different word (other than "protect"), but that's OK.

I guess it should be "themselves". what do you think?

You can thank me now.
