Cyclone Nargis


On May 3, Cyclone Nargis swept across southern Myanmar, leaving more than 28,000 dead and 33,000 still missing as it washed away people along with their homes. The death toll is likely to continue to increase because the Junta are slowing supplies flooding into the region. This is eerily reminiscent of the Tsunami of 2005 that swept through southeast Asia. The Junta will likely have more blood on their hands than they will know what to do with after this ordeal is over with. Its sad that the poorest humans become pawns in a terrible governmental system when the goodness of the world tries to pour in. I hope that things will change, but I have not much hope. I hope you all have a great weekend!
