Myanmar relief!

this short post has actually been in my draft for sometime, and i only recently realized that it was actually not posted.. apologies..

Cyclone Nargis struck Myanmar on 2 May 2008, leaving at least 31,938 dead and 29,770 people missing.
Dozens of the 63 villages surrounding the town of Labutta have been wiped out and US estimates the death toll could hit 100,000.
Many countries have pledged emergency aid so far totalling some 19 million euros (US$29 million). (quoted: Channel News Asia, 17th May 2008)
