It is a shocking story for Myanmar (Burma) and a shameful response by the government to the public. The southern part of Myanmar was hit by cyclone Nargis on 2 and 3 of Ma
y. Its wind speeds were more than 192 kilometers (120 miles) an hour. The storm blew across the Irrawaddy Delta and the former capital Rangoon and included a total of 30 townships. According to official reports, the lives of up to 2.4 million cyclone victims in Myanmar are in danger from lack of food and drinking water. Of 2.4 million, 1.5 million people have been supported by International NGOs, the Red Cross and the UN. The Myanmar Government’s official death toll from 16 May shows that 77,738 people have been killed and 55,917 are missing.
A Tripartite
Core Group (TCG), composed of representatives of the Government of Myanmar, ASEAN and the UN held the third donor conference to assist Burmese cyclone victims on 9 June. This team was officially launched in Yangon on 9 June and surveyed the affected townships between 10-19 June. Some staff from UN agencies have experienced difficulties in obtaining Visas. However, 86 international UN staff have visited the affected-areas on June 9. However some International NGOs members are experiencing difficulties at police check points.
For the emergency appeal, the Myanmar Cyclone Flash Appeal has raised US$ 201 millions. On June 9 firm contri
butions of US$ 82 million and a further US$ 51 million in uncommitted pledges were donated. The OCHA Financial Tracking System (FTS) shows that US$ 164 million and a further US$ 108 million have been committed to relief operations in Myanmar.
The “New Light of Myanmar” newspaper reports that Prime Minister General Thein Sein visited cyclone affected areas from 7-9 June, but his visit was meaningless. In my point of view, if the government urgently appeals foreign aid for cyclone victims, the thousand of lives will be saved.

Hi sis,
You are right, sis. I really feel ashame on our government. Sometimes I wonder why the government is so egocentric and why they don't behave and think like human beings. I really worry about our country's future.I think you do so.
