Myanmar Cyclone Appeal
Myanmar was hit by the worst cyclone - nargis since 1991. The storm drove waves up to 13 ft high across Irrawaddy delta, wiping out entire towns and villages. While more than 130,000 people have been killed, the needs of 2.5 million survivors are even more urgent.
What you can do? The cyclone victims urgently require the following for survival - Water & Sanitation
- Shelter
- Food and medical assistance
- Recovery programmes (short term and long term)
