What has happened in Burma?
The world has been shocked by the recent natural disasters in Burma and in China.
Cyclone Nargis hit western Burma (Myanmar) on Saturday 3rd May. Thousands of people were killed and thousands more have been made homeless with buildings flattened, power lines downed, trees uprooted, roads blocked and water supplies disrupted. Five regions, in which 24m people live, have been declared disaster zones. Initially Burma's secretive military rulers refused much of the international aid and support that was offered but with millions of lives at risk Burma has now promised to accept significantly more international aid to help cyclone victims.
