More than 60,000 killed by Cyclone Nargis in Burma
Make a donation for relief assistance
On Saturday, May 3, 2008, a cyclone devasted vast areas of Burma. More than one million have been left homeless.
"The aftermath could be more lethal than the storm itself," the head of Unicef commented.
Many international aid organizations are doing what they can to help the victims..
Many people are taking shelter in Buddhist monasteries.
Buddhist Relief Mission has established a Sangha network to help monasteries provide food and clean drinking water to these refugees.
!!UPDATE, MAY 9!!
