fracking incredible...despite the devastation caused by cyclone nargis nearly two weeks ago, myanmar's government keeps the country on lockdown... only a handful of flights offering assistance have been allowed in...relatively few resources like food, water, medicine, blankets and tents have been given out...the reporting on npr and the bbc have done a decent job despite the obstacles of offering a window into the backwardness and obstinancy of myanmar's military rulers...
it makes me physically wretch imagining the realtime plight of the victims of this terrible tragedy...the cyclone has killed many thousands of people and more than a million have been displaced...tens of thousands are literally starving and dehydrating...
call on the government of myanmar to allow food and medicine to reach those in need
