Fact About Cyclone Nargis
On the night of 2 May 2008, killer cyclone swept through South West region of Myanmar (Burma) including the former Capital, Yangon and the well known rice plantation area of Irrawaddy delta.
The impact of the disaster left more than 2.5 million people homeless and over hundred of thousand people dead or missing.
"State TV has put the official death toll of the 2 May storm at 78,000.
Another 56,000 people are thought to be missing according to the latest official estimates,
which nearly double the figures released on Thursday, raising fears the final human toll may be enormous."

With no fresh drinking water, no power supply, no food, life aftermath seems impossible. Debris and fallen trees continue to block the streets. Due to the lack of telecommunications, we are still unable to access the extend of the damage. However, in an impoverished country where people live on a hand-to-mouth basis.
With moonson drewing around the corner, the survivors have little or no shelter and with the little available relief shelters over crowded with cyclone victims.
