After the Cyclone Nargis, the death toll in Burma(Myanmar) reached 50,000(unbelievable! Officially 22,000) and 30,000 people are missing. Many villages were wiped out and several hundred thounsands of people were homeless. The government was hesitate to accept the International assistance. A photo from NASA shows the situation before and after the Nargis.

I can’t imagine how bad it is. The people in these area need immediate relief assistance. Many International aid agencies are ready to help and waiting for permission from the government.

Many Burmese people outside Burma are making donation to help these people. In Singapore, the total of S$11020 has been received as donation for Burma last two days. To make a donation, please contact these address
